Hi,

fine thanks. By the way. How about to include your explanation directly into the documentation/FAQ / ballon help in case the stop icon appears? :-) I really doubt I am the last beginner who has this problem :-). Could help to lower the simple question traffic.

About documenting it, I stand with you.
We could update e.g.
https://mediawiki.gnustep.org/index.php/User_FAQ#Problems_with_Alt_key
Do you have an account on the wiki?

there is also a Link to a keyboard setup which is broken due to the website makes redirect. I need to write to our colleagues.
It links to:
http://www.gnustep.org/resources/documentation/User/Gui/KeyboardSetup.html

the current actual is:
https://wwwmain.gnustep.org/resources/documentation/User/Gui/KeyboardSetup.html


Ideally, I'd like to make it more transparent to the user. E.g. in SystemPreferences show the default setup. Currently, you can set it to whatever you want (and it works) or "reset" which means cleaning the defaults and using GS built-in. I'd like to display to the user the standard settings, so they are explicit and it would be immediate e.g. to see that one key is not present on the keyboard without looking up hidden documentation. However, there are no APIs to get the built-in values, so I cannot tisplay them in the preference module.

The only way I thought would be hard-coding them in SystemPreferences too. Would work, but if GS changes, SystemPreferences needs to be changed too, something quite "ugly".
