Peter,
I think the interpretation is a legacy of terminal control keys, you can
see the same keystroke duplication in the command prompt in Windows,
presumeably there is a list somewhere of these, though why Mapinfo is
responsive to them isn't clear.

Andy,
You are right. This was actually a problem I also ran into, but I couldn't
recall what actually was the problem.
Another problem is that Ctrl+I seems to conflict with using the Tab in the Info
window and in browser windows.
So appearently there are some shortcut keys that should be avoided. Some I
guess can be discovered by checking the key codes, but some seems to be some
kind of interpretation happing in MapInfo ??

Subject: MI-L Customised Hotkeys and the MB window
A little addition to the discussion about editing the Mapinfo.mnu to add
custom hotkeys. I successfully created a couple of hotkeys to switch
between the select and pan tools by inserting the following lines into
the window menu section of Mapinfo.mnu:
"Select\tCtrl+Space/W^%32"
calling 1701,
"Pan\tCtrl+M/W^M"
calling 1702,
These worked fine, but I subsequently discovered that mapping the Ctrl+M
sequence had the unwanted effect of disabling the ability to run
commands in the Mapbasic window. I think the Ctrl+M sequence equates to
a carriage return character (and vice versa?), and that defining a
Ctrl+M hotkey causes presses of the return key in the Mapbasic window to
be intercepted.
Whilst investigating this though, I also discovered that the Ctrl+Return
key will insert a line feed character into the Mapbasic window, and this
is useful if you need a new line to type on.
