Hi! I've noticed that with my keymap (french), the right command key
and
right option key are switched compared to the us keymap (japanese and
uk
too).
I've got RCommand = 0x60 and ROption = 0x5f.
Almost all keymaps are like this.
IIRC most keymaps came from a public domain pool - maybe that one was
just so old that BeOS did not have the feature to switch the keys.
The problem is that the check in menu preflet fails (since those
values
are hardcoded there too) and says i'm in Ctrl mode although i'm in
Alt
mode. Selecting Alt again rewrites these hardcoded values so that
following runs are fine.
See src/data/etc/keymaps and src/preferences/menu/MenuSettings.cpp
Is there any reason behind this variation?
I doubt that there is any particular reason other than trying to change
the defaults (ie. switch control/alt for the user). I would just fix
all those keymaps; if you don't want to do this, opening a bug report
would be a solution for now :-)
