First, Thanks Nicolai :)
I was testing the latest windows VM In my gf's machine to see the fix of
Nicolai to the Ctrl+friends.
For those who do not know, before, the windows (and unix, and mac too) VMs
mapped some Ctrl+key combinations to another one simulating emacs/terminal
shortcuts. For example:
Ctrl+a => Ctrl home
Ctrl+d => Ctrl end
The problem of this, is that the image never received a Ctrl+a event, and
thus, Ctrl+a and Ctrl+home were not distinguishable.
Nicolai did a fix in the Windows VM for this and I'm glad to see that most
of the keys that did not work before now work. I tested it by disabling the
global shortcuts and using the following script:
w := SystemWindow new.
($a to: $z) do: [ :k|
w bindKeyCombination: k ctrl toAction: [ :a :b :c | UIManager default
inform: c asString ]].
w addMorphBack: TextMorph new.
w openInWorld.
Using that I saw however that the Ctrl+m combination does not reach my
handler and there are no global handlers for it. The event does however
arrive to the image (checked using the InputEventFetcher).
Then I have two questions for the world:
- Does anyone have an idea of who may be catching the Ctrl+m?
- What do we have to do to bless the latest Windows VM as stable?
