BUG in keyboard sequence for commenting region ?
 
|
Hi,
I am using Squeak5.2, in MacOS. According to Help -> Keyboard Shortcut: ---- Ctrl-' Toggle enclosure within double-quotes Cmd-' Toggle enclosure within single-quotes ---- Neither of those works. The only way to make a selected part of text commented is to press Shift+' . This sequence does not toggle, it just quotes the region. I may have installed a nasty package because I am pretty sure I was able to comment/uncomment regions a few days ago. Do you observe the same behavior ? Post Scriptum: Can you tell me where this is implemented and save me X hours of digging ? :) I would like to change it a bit. Bye Nicola _______________________________________________ Beginners mailing list [hidden email] http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/beginners |

I am unable to reproduce this in Squeak 5.2-18231 (Linux 64b). Alt-' (Alt in Linux = Cmd key in Mac) works as expected. Ctrl-' is treated like alt-shift-' (alt-"). > Post Scriptum: Can you tell me where this is implemented and save m > X hours of digging ?:) I would like to change it a bit.

In reply to this post by K K Subbu
Hi,
I think this could be a bug in TextEditor>>#enclose:. On a Qwerty keyboard, everything might work as expected. But for example on a Qwertz keyboard, none of '{}|"<>' is entered by holding shift and pressing one of the keys for '[]\'',.'.
But I do not really understand this method fully: When is this shift transformation ever used? At least in my image (running on Win10), KeyboardEvent>>#keyCharacter always respects the shift state and directly returns $( or similar values. Disabling this section does not appear to change any observable behavior. Is this OS specific or even keyboard layout specific, or is #enclose: out of date?
In case the section is still relevant: Does Squeak currently has any logic regarding the local keyboard layout? If not, a simple approach might be to introduce a keyboard layout preference and to define a default dictionary for these shift replacements per keyboard layout.
Looking forward to your answers :) Best, Christoph Von: Beginners <[hidden email]> im Auftrag von K K Subbu <[hidden email]>
