Appreciated! Since everything started with making an application more
"standard" by request of a user. Although there are no real standards,
it is more a customary thing in this case: we are not speaking about
copy&paste or menu entries, but a zoom in/out modifier.
So, how many keyboards are out there without a Windows or other extra key? PC
keyboards come along with a Windows key for quite sometime now.
That is true but it is not always available. At work for example I often
use a remote display and the X server doesn't "pass" the windows key.
Some laptops miss it, etc.
OpenStep used to map the Alt key to Command and AltGr to the Alt key on
traditional PC keyboards (without a Windows key). This should work for GNUstep,
too. So I think the 5th option, which you should choose, would be doing nothing
at all. Except possibly checking whether the default mapping for our modifier
keys is reasonable.
But that works I suppose only on Italian or German keyboards where AltGr
is actually a different key. A US keyboard has there a normal Alt.
"Doing nothing" has one disadvantage: Even with a "windows" "Super" or
"command" equipped machine, the *default* setting of GNUstep (which will
be used by the majority) will result in a non-working zoom option, Thus
either one reconfigures GNUstep as I do, or I offer some sort of
customization.
In other words, by prorgam is correct, it is capable of working, but the
user will need some setup before he can use it.
