I cannot figure how to use shotcuts on a mac #6

Hi there

I was just giving a shot at the tools deployed at http://subtitles.fiddleware.com/

However I am using a mac and cannot find a way to use the Cmd- functions that show up in the 'Hints' dropdown I've tried various combinations to no avail, of course it is not the Command button and this is no surprise as Command-P means 'Print' whatever the application, but no other combination of Control/Alt/Shift seems to do the trick, what am I missing here ?

ah, and I tried safari and chrome just in case, looks like I'm getting the same symptom with both

it's too bad because this tools looked awesome; I'm trying to translate an online course from french into english, this looked like the exact fit for the job :-)

Well, answering to myself, actually it turns out that using simply 'Command' kind of works, except that it depends on which area I have the cursor focus on I am not quite sure that I can accurately describe this any further, if you run into this problem, "just try harder" would be my advice :)

heyo. The shortcut keys will only work if you have the cursor within a text-area, since the functionality of those keys depends on which 'subtitle' is selected. So if you put the cursor in a subtitle and hit command p then the end of that subtitle will be pushed back 1/2 a second.

Hope that helps!

By the way, I just confirmed that it indeed worked in Chrome... which is the recommended browser to use.

yo; right, chrome is better I recommend to not use safari as the behaviour is less predictible; in particular I have quite surprisingly not been able to get Command-o to work, while Command-p does, so things quickly become uncomfortable :-)

pretty cool stuff otherwise, thanks for putting this together
