Hi all,

Below is a list of issues encountered under Qtide/OSX; sharing for
visibility and feedback.

# Editor

* Commenting
  * Comments inserted via Edit>Selection aren't undoable
    (insertion clears the undo stack)
  * The default binding for uncommenting the selection doesn't
    work under OSX
    * Changed to "Ctrl+Shift+U" [= Cmd-Shift-u] here as a
      workaround
* Creating a new project leaves the editor in an inconsistent
  state under OSX
  * Seems to work correctly under Linux
  * Project path isn't set correctly; files not displayed, can't
    run project
    * Workaround: explicitly (re-)opening the newly created
      project
  * Related: Run Project has a listed binding of '8' in the menu
    bar (but F9 works)

# Viewmat

* closeall_jviewmat_ doesn't work correctly in the IDE:
  * Only closes the most recent viewmat window
  * Hovering over remaining windows,

          |locale error
          |   (i.0 0)"_     wdhandler_0_$0
          |locale error
          |   (i.0 0)"_     wdhandler_0_$0

      etc.

* Aside: It would be nice to parallel plot behaviour when
  running viewmat from jconsole
  * Write out a bitmap, open with the default preview application

# Qt windows

* Consistent keyboard bindings to close windows -- including
  Package Manager, viewmat and plot -- would be ideal
  * Under GTK, the Esc key closes viewmat (but not plot)
  * Under Qt/OSX, I'm forced to use the mouse instead; interrupts
    workflow
    * Under XFCE (Linux), Alt-F4 works but Ctrl-W would be more
      natural.
  * Generalisation of these bindings to wd would make sense
    * Perhaps Cmd/Ctrl-W for all windows, Esc for viewmat and
      plot?

Best,
Marc
