One downside of this approach might be that the menu item appears twice in VoiceOver. (I haven’t tried it myself.) A more targeted approach might be to attach a delegate to the menu that contains the aliased item, and implement -menuHasKeyEquivalent:forEvent:target:action: to return the Command+L menu item’s target and action if it sees Command+Shift+L. --Kyle Sluder > > Cheers, > Ken _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
