#6442: AltGr should have a separate keycode -------------------------------+-------------------------------------------- Reporter: rq | Owner: pulkomandy Type: enhancement | Status: assigned Priority: normal | Milestone: R1 Component: Drivers/Keyboard | Version: Resolution: | Keywords: Blocked By: | Has a Patch: 0 Platform: All | Blocking: -------------------------------+-------------------------------------------- Comment (by anevilyak): Replying to [comment:12 rq]: > > * Lack an AltGr or othewise have a single Alt key (may happen, but didn't saw much of these) : you can still use Haiku > > Like I said, this had happened on Macs previously, but apart from that, I can't remember seeing a keyboard like that either. They probably don't even exist, because AltGr has been in use on PC's forever. My Kinesis only has a single Alt and it's brand new. > I strongly suggest at least the latter. BeOS was made for BeBox which had its own keyboard but is now dead. RIP. Now we have PC keyboards and they have slightly different from those of BeBox. > Last I checked, the BeBox used a perfectly normal PC-style keyboard. At least mine didn't come with anything special. > I would love to: > * merge Cmd and Ctrl like it's done in Windows and Linux (give both functions to Ctrl key(s)) I would absolutely hate that because I find ctrl much more awkward to reach than alt on most standard layouts. Sorry, but "everybody else does it that way" is not a good argument. -- Ticket URL: <http://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/6442#comment:13> Haiku <http://dev.haiku-os.org> Haiku - the operating system.
