As far as I know, the slow-motion-on-shift feature does not automatically work on all animations. It has to be explicitly coded separately for each animation. Here's an example of an Apple application that (apparently) uses animation for an operation that includes Shift in the shortcut, but which does NOT exhibit slow motion: In Mail, the View > Show/Hide Mailbox List menu item uses Shift-Cmd-M as its keyboard shortcut. When you use the shortcut, the animation is not in slow motion. Likewise, when you hit the expand/collapse button at the left end of the jump bar while holding down the Shift key, the animation is not in slow motion. My point is that the Xcode developers must have deliberately included the slow-motion-on-Shift feature for storyboard zoom. I have to admit that I don't know why they would have thought that appropriate, but perhaps they wanted to use it at WWDC for the Wow! effect just as Steve Jobs did with the Minimize button years ago. This particular case seems inappropriate to me, mainly because they chose to include Shift as one of the required modifier keys for the keyboard shortcut. I would suggest that this is worthy of a bug report. -- Bill Cheeseman - b...@cheeseman.name _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
