You've used the wrong character as a separator - See
AcceleratorTable>>keySeparator

You should be using 'CTRL+1' as the string

If you didn't supersend #onViewOpened from your Presenter's #onViewOpened
method then that would also explain why your accelerators didn't work.
#additionalAccelerators is called from Shell>>onViewOpened.

Sorry if I led you down the primrose path with my earlier post.  We're
talking about an AXControlSite instance, right?  So it's likely just
consuming all the keyboard input itself (or passing it to the
controlDispatch). I had to do something like this many moons ago, but it
entailed creating a simple new View subclass.  I think in your case, you'll
want to experiment with overriding #preTranslateMessage:, possibly even just
as a loose method, depending on how your app works.  It would ordinarily be
simpler, I think, but ActiveX controls are their own odd beasts.

HTH,

Oops.  Thanks for the correction.  And yes, with the supersend to
#onViewOpened, everything works using #additional accelerators.

How then do we use the acceleratorKey field in the VC?  Do we need both
#additionalAccelerators and this VC field?  Do they serve different
purposes?

Is there a way to distinguish between the left and right Shift, Ctrl, and
Alt keys?

Also, how do you specify the + key in combination with a modifier key?
'Alt++' and 'Alt+++' don't work.

I can't really answer that.  Using the VC to add an accelerator key to a
menu item works but setting the value is a PushButton's command doesn't.  I
don't know why it doesn't work (or even if it should) - maybe somebody else
has investigated?.

The #additionalAccelerators method seems to work as expected though so it's
probably just as easy to use that.

I don't think so.  If you look at the method Keyboard class>>buildVKeyMap
you will find a list of the key names supported by Dolphin - CTRL, SHIFT and
ALT only appear once.

You may be able to add your own keyboard routines that trap the appropriate
codes - that's assuming Windows itself differentiates between the Left/Right
versions of the keys.

These should work (assuming your keyboard layout is the same as mine)

'ALT+SHIFT+='

'ALT+NUM PLUS'
