Hi
oups : Linefeed disapeared in my previous message ! sorry for the noise...
<CMD> (Command) and <OPT> (option) keys are inverted* on the
left of the keyboards, so that the <CMD> key is available on the
102-key keyboards. It's misleading for newbies, especially when
there is no explanation in the user guide.
Couldn't we explain that, in "Shortcuts / key combinations"
and "KeyMap" pages ?
Should I open a enhancement ticket to create 105-keykeyboards map ?
should 102-key keyboards map be renamed with "Legacy"
( or an other word ) to draw attention ?
To make short : What solution(s) should we implement?
One point more :
Nor Haiku nor BeOS do a distinction between <OPT> left/right,
wheras in some langages right <OPT> is called <ALT GR>
(ALTernate GRaphic) and provides special caracters support.
I think this also deserves to be mentioned in the user guide.
Regards
Loïc
* : I suspect
this problem have caused several"shortcuts key" errors in the user guide.
for instance :
<span class="key">COMMAND</span> (normally <span class="key">ALT</span>
in the keymap preflet !
