Hi Andrew

My only issue with the moving of the key is that I am now used to

the Linux ones.)
I agree that having three different "defaults" is a bad idea.
It was due to short-sighted pragmatism, really. "F12" was the default
for Unix builds of UAE, whereas AmigaOS builds used "Ctrl+Alt" because
traditional Amiga keyboards don't have an F12 key. Then on OS X, the
F12 key can't be read reliably (you only get a key-down event when the
key is actually released) due to the operating system get first dibs
on it for the eject function.
I am left with a situation where I'd like to standardize this across
platforms and not to have to force Mac users to redefine their Expose,
etc. keys, but whatever I do I am going to make somebody unhappy.
I think opting for the "Ctrl+Alt" sequence as the default everywhere
but allowing users to redefine it should they wish might be the least
poor solution. ;-)
Cheers,
Rich
