I am currently "retooling" my Devawriter as folks are finding they cannot quite get their heads round some aspects of the GUI, and, having used the SHIFT key as a modifier inconsistenly across the current 8-odd interfaces I am now intending to use it for a consistent task, and start using the ALT / OPTION key for another task. I am eschewing the commandKey and the ctrlKey as they respond to different keys on the keyboard depending on the OS the computer is running.

I would be grateful for some feedback from anybody about how they feel about using the ALT / OPTION key as a modifier of this sort:

on mouseUP
   do something
    if the altKey() is down then
      do something extra
    end if
end mouseUp

Richmond.
