Re: [Alphacocoa-devel] Centering (marked) text

[Bernard D. <bde...@or...>]

Hi Eberhard,

Concerning the shortcuts for Shift Left and Shift Right, are you aware of the "keyboard" preference in the Alpha ↣ Preferences ↣ Global Preferences ↣ International. You should have a look at the doc: Help ↣ Features Help ↣ International Menus.

It's name is misleading but it concerns exactly this problem : some shortcuts are not appropriate for some keyboards. If you select the German keyboard then some bindings are redefined. I see that nothing has been specified for Shift Left and Shift Right in the case of the German keyboard. I'd like to fix that: do you suggest that cmd-( and cmd-) would be a good choice ?

Cheers,
Bernard
