#5 Usability on Mac

[Jean-Christophe Helary]

Keyboard shortcuts on Mac are not Ctrl+, they are Cmd+

Window appearance could be automatically adapted to the surrounding
operating system.

Dear brandelune,
(1) Do you mean we should change something in the way we
express keyboard shortcuts? Would C- be a good way of
representing both Ctrl- and Cmd-?

(2) we know our current user interface could be improved,
and we are currently discussing possible avenues of
development to make it better.

Thanks

Sorry for the alias, I am Jean-Christophe from the OmegaT project.

What I mean is that there is a way to let Java decide which modifier key to
use/display depending on the underlying OS.

On Mac the exact same code would react to Cmd and would be displayed as
Cmd+ and on Windows/Linux I suppose that would work with Ctrl.

You may want to look at the Java doc from Apple:

Alright, will look into this. Better integration with Mac will be added as we go towards version 1.0. Version 1.0M0 will have some minimal integration and more later on will be added.
