[ jEdit-users ] alt-<direction> key combination on Mac OS X

[<cj...@qu...>]

Has anyone had any joy binding alt-<direction> to a shortcut under OS X? I'm
trying to rebind my shortcuts so that jEdit's text area behaves like other Mac
applications, i.e. so alt-left and alt-right behave like ctrl-left and
ctrl-right on non-Mac platforms. When I try to set the binding in the shortcuts
options section it completely ignores me. Other key combinations involving alt 
work fine but insert a special character (e.g. capital Omega) rather than an
understandable key combination. I guess this is complicated by the fact that
jEdit thinks that the Apple key is ctrl and the ctrl key is alt. But
alt-<direction> does nothing. I've tried the keyboard tester using 4.2final and
4.3pre3 and jEdit can definitely see the keystrokes. I'm running the most recent
versions of OS X 10.4 and Java 1.5.0. This is the keyboard tester output (which
is identical under both jEdit versions).

Any tips would be gratefully received
