Hi folks,
as you might know, the Command key (aka apple key or ⌘ key) does what the
Control key is for on Windows and Linux. My Gtk# sharp app is being developed
with MonoDevelop on Linux, but is intended to run on Windows and MacOS X as
well.
When adding an accelerator to a menu item, MonoDevelop generates the following
code, for example, for a "Select All" menu item activated by typing ^A:
this.AllesMarkieren = new global::Gtk.Action ("AllesMarkieren",
global::Mono.Unix.Catalog.GetString ("Alles _markieren"), null, null);
this.AllesMarkieren.ShortLabel = "Alles _markieren";
w1.Add (this.AllesMarkieren, "<Control><Mod2>a");
MacOS X users, of course, would wanna use ⌘A, as this is Apple tradition.
Sometimes I would like to "accelerate" an operation, which is not bound to a
menu item, so I write a KeyPressEvent and KeyReleaseEvent handler like this:
protected virtual void OnKeyPressed (object o, Gtk.KeyPressEventArgs args)
{
string key = args.Event.Key.ToString();
if (key == "m" || key == "M") {
if (this.control) {
this.assemblyButton.Activate();
}
}
else if (key == "k" || key == "K") {
if (this.control) {
this.OnItemCalculationButtonPressed(this, new
EventArgs());
}
}
else if (key.StartsWith("Control") || key.StartsWith("Command")
||
key.StartsWith("Cmd")) {
this.control = true;
}
}
protected virtual void OnKeyReleased (object o, Gtk.KeyReleaseEventArgs args)
{
string key = args.Event.Key.ToString();
if (key.StartsWith("Shift")) {
this.shift = false;
}
else if (key.StartsWith("Control") || key.StartsWith("Command")
||
key.StartsWith("Cmd")) {
this.control = false;
}
}
In the hand-made code I've added both Control, and Command keys, but frankly
speaking, I wanna have all my control sequences activated on Mac with the ⌘
key and nothing else.
Now here's my first question: Does Gtk# automatically treat the ⌘ key as the
MacOS X equivalent to the Ctrl key? And if not: How can I get the menu item
accelerator (example 1) working on Mac with ⌘ instead of Ctrl?
Second question: I'm also using the Windows key for shortcuts, for instance
[Win]+[F1]. On Linux the key is recognised as a "Super" key (but on some
systems it's purportedly called "Meta"). What is the MacOS X equivalent of the
Windows / Super key then?
Any useful help is greatly appreciated. ^^
