SHIFT+^

[Jan Peters]

Hi Lyxers!

I am slowly digesting things into small samples. The main problem of 
SHIFT+^
appears to be:

1. in the QT/ X11 version, we could use the hotkey ^ which does 
not
work in Aqua anymore.
It probably should, however such a key is a bit dependent upon what
input you are using. Where do you have it as a hotkey? Can you send
a small example?
Apparently, QT/Aqua is returning a different symbol code instead
of ~S and  asciicircum in Aqua then in X11 (on the same computer).
I could not figure out which one though, as I am just a "bugfinder" 
in
the Aquaporting.

If you want to try the error: just start LyX, enter APPLEKEY+m for
math mode, and then SHIFT+^ . It will print an ^ because
  Qt::Key_AsciiCircum appears not to be called.
How is this accelerator created? I stuck one into a QMenuBar with no
luck in causing a problem. Are you using a QAccel? Are you just
watching key events?


The main difference is the return keyboard code for ^. It differs by

Lyx/Aqua Output:  Setting key to 65535, ^
Lyx/X11 Output:    Setting key to 94, ^
where function

string const fromqstr(QString const & str)
{
        QTextCodec * codec = QTextCodec::codecForLocale();
        QCString tmpstr = codec->fromUnicode(str);
        char const * tmpcstr = tmpstr;
        return tmpcstr;
}
returns these results. It is called in

void QLyXKeySym::set(QKeyEvent * ev)
{
        key_ = ev->key();
        //...
        text_ = ev->text();
        cerr << "Setting key to " << key_ << ", " <<  fromqstr(text_) 
<< endl;
}

Any ideas on this one?

Thanks a lot!
