Good day list!

I've tested that with images 3.4-5170 and 3.5-5180 on VM 3.4-1 #3 XShm Tue Mar 4 05:43:28 CET 2003 gcc 2.95.4, running on Debian woody/testing: Enabling Preferences -> `swapControlAndAltKeys' works so that Control-a gives `Function-Capital-A'. If Function `A' doesn't exist, nothing happens, of course. So for example:

b Browse (no reaction) d Do it (no reaction) e Exchange selections (triggers `method strings with it' which is denoted as `E') k triggers big `K' `set style'

_But_ Control-f works as `f' as in `find', not as in `F' as in

`Insert ifFalse:'.

Yes. So if you type Ctrl-shift-F you will get ifFalse:. There is a distinction between Cmd- and Cmd-Shift keys.

You can see the effect of the swaps using

Sensor kbdTest

where the 64 bit is the Cmd bit, and the 16 bit is the Ctrl bit. Type x to quit it.

Also working correctly: `c', `x' and `v' as in copy/cut/paste. I'm completely mystified. Can someone please verify/falsify this behaviour or give me a tipp as to whether I have completely misconfigured X11 (or whatever)?

Also note that many operating systems, applications, and window managers eat Alt- key combinations; they may never get to Squeak.

For instance, if I use the KNotes application, every time I go Alt-Shift-N to find class references a little yellow sticky note appears...
