Meta-clicking to bring up the halo

I have Pharo 5.0 running under both Windows 7 and Raspbian (using the Spur VM). Curiously, I can bring up the halo in Windows by meta-clicking, but not so in Raspbian. In Raspbian, the only thing I can do is 'add halo' from a context menu (which I can also do in Windows).

I'm just guessing but this issue must be related to the VM, since the Pharo 5.0 image should be the same on both platforms (?).

Re: Meta-clicking to bring up the halo

Normally bringing the halo is done using Shift+command(on mac)+alt.

Now in Pharo there is also a Platform class and I do not know if the keybinding dispatch to it.

So this is not clear that this is a vm things. With the introduction of SDL20 we want to manage all the

event interpretation at the image level.

Right now the VM is doing too much and badly

- we handled touch events via OSWindow (SDL inside)

- in the VM there is no way to know if some keys have been pressed.

Moving all the logic to the image with make the vm slimmer and focused more on its key job.

We should continue to integrate more SDL20.
