Ideally this handling should only occur in the input method, but I haven't figured out how to do that yet and Kristian Reitveld doesn't think it's important enough to do anything about. If anyone knows enough about the simple input method to write a patch to fix this it would be most welcome. Post it to https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=617583. >>> >> >> so what are my options if I do not know the details about input >> methods?

GtkAccelMaps as shown in test-integration.c can be used to modify the accelerator for an entry in the menu. But from your email I understood that this will not help to fix the problem with the <alt> key. Is that correct or not? Futhermore, why I really would like to get the 'magic' behavior of ige-mac-integration: I have about 295 menu entries in Bluefish (that's why I really need <alt> to maximise the number of entries that have an accelerator). In the old ige-mac-integration code all entries were automatically converted from <control> to <command>. With the new GtkOSXApplication code it seems I need something like 600 lines of extra code to replace all accelerators, and I should try to keep these in sync. Or is this again a misunderstanding and can I get the 'magic' behavior with a few lines of code? forgive me for my ignorance on this subject, I'm not a fulltime gtk programmer and it's sometimes hard to keep track of all the possibilities in gtk.
