If a shortcut requires shifting to get to the character for the shortcut, it won't work. The obvious example is Cmd-+, which is frequently used for zooming. The normal plus key on most keyboards and keymaps is the shifted =. Since the shift key can also be used to define the shortcut, we obviously have a problem. Of course on full size keyboards the plus key is available unshifted by the numpad, but that doesn't help laptop users. Other OSes seems to deal with this correctly, so it may be worth looking into how they do it. Did BeOS also have this problem? I think so because I can recall adding Cmd-= as another shortcut for zooming in ShowImage. -- Regards, Ryan
