Hi,
As you probably know, we have keyboard issues on Mac OS X, with X11 :
by default ALT key does not work.
e.g. ( { [ \ | } } € keys are missing (formulas cannot be
written ! ), and we first used a (bad) workaround, starting X11 with
+kb extension.
This extension leads to two bugs : one with caps lock ( see
#i58750# ), a second one when X11 is started before OpenOffice.org
Now, using an old patch, I have adapted it to match with 2.0.x code,
and have created macosxkbd in this purpose.
The code builds fine, all other archs OS are protected (using #ifdef
MACOSX ) and works fine under the 3 Mac OS X
- Panther (10.3.x) PowerPC
- Tiger (10.4.x) PowerPC and Intel
No issue reported by testers ( administrations with a lot of
installed machines), since I included this change in testing build.
mod5 is used because known to not cause issues for e.g. Japanese
(Etsushi Kato confirmed this mod is ok)
This cws is Ready for QA, 2.0.4 deadline is close, and my QA (Tino
Rachui) is maybe on hollidays :-)
Is it possible anyone confirm the changes are ok ?
FYI : cwsname is macosxkbd ; concerned modules are desktop, vcl ;
milestone used for the changes : m174
Of course, this is a temporarly solution : we should complete the
remapping with Apple key only, and differentiate it's behaviour with
CTRL key, but we really need more time, if ever a solution really
does exist.
Last, complete change is not possible if we want to respect 2.0.4
deadline.
Thank's in advance for any help !
Eric Bachard
