Question about capitalisation of shortcuts.. We don't do a great job of displaying these: Shift Hu Would "Hu" do? Actually, we do specifically check the "Shift" modifier, switching caps-lock on, and typing "hShiftU" -> "Hu" does not work. Should it? Should we: a) Make the shortcut based on the logical characters - so having capslock on requires inversion of your "shift" modifier application. b) Make the shortcut based on modifier + case-insensitive letter? This gives us invariant key-presses for a given shortcut with capslock on/off. How should we display the shortcut.. as before (Shift Hu), or a more GTK "Shift+H U"? I note that accelerators are normally shown capitalised in other GTK programs (Apart from the modifier names, such as "Alt", "Ctrl", "Shift", "Meta", which are joined with a "+" symbol) On MacOSX, GTK will display native symbols for various modifiers and keys, as is consistent with that platform. -- Peter Clifton Electrical Engineering Division, Engineering Department, University of Cambridge, 9, JJ Thomson Avenue, Cambridge CB3 0FA Tel: +44 (0)7729 980173 - (No signal in the lab!) _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
