The following question arises from code level considerations while
refactoring Leo's baroque key-handling code. However, this is "user-
level" question, and I'd like your advice.
At present, Leo supports two key-related settings:
@bool swap_mac_keys
@bool enable_alt_ctrl_bindings
As I write this, I see that neither of these settings appear in
leoSettings.leo. I wonder what happened to them? I'll have to put
them back.
When enable_alt_ctrl_bindings is True (recommended) all alt-ctrl keys
are assumed to be valid characters. I believe this is important for
European keyboards. BTW, there is a comment in my myLeoSettings.leo
file that this must be True in order to handle Alt-Ctrl bindings for
Leo's Find Pane...
My question is this: it doesn't seem to make sense to enable these
settings on a per-Leo-file basis. Instead, it would seem much more
sensible to enable them from the command line, so that all files *at a
particular location* would treat keystrokes in the same way. Do you
agree?
Turning these settings into command-line options would have
"technical" benefits. KeyStroke objects would not need to the know
the environment (commander) in which they are operating.
Your thoughts, please, amigos.
Edward
