Well, it seems what has happened is that I have essentially lost
the 'Option' key. Throughout the history of BeOS, whatever keyboard
I've had, the right-Control key has equated to 'Option'. The Alt keys
have not been distinguishable.
On this latest rev, that's not longer so. I eventually found that
pressing *both* Alt keys now equates to 'Alt-Opt', but that is definitely
*not* a good idea! On any other system, the alts are not distinguished,
so the effect would just be the same as pressing one of the keys.
In the case of 'Alt-T', which is what was concerning me here, that just
sends things to the Trash!!
I notice that the Keymap Preference now has a selection between
'Windows/Linux' and 'Haiku' shortcuts, but so far I haven't detected
any consequence of changing that. My feeling is that this whole business
of "special keys" needs a bit harder thinking. Be was pretty sloppy
about it, and things haven't changed much... More (and clearer) user
options are probably the answer.
