Debugger doesn't start with alt-r/option-r (MacOS)? #23

Closed Rockgecko closed 7 years ago

Just installed your package to give it a go. Am I doing something wrong. I open a *.py file, hit alt-r to start debugger - but all that happens is the ® symbol appears in the file. What might I be doing wrong? This is on Mac OS Sierra 10.12.3. Thanks.

You might already have a keybinding for alt-r. You can check with the keybinding inspector. You can start the debugger using the command palette instead.

alt-r is mapped to a keyboard shortcut within OS X. There is a way to override it with a third party app (Ukelele), but the most user-friendly way to work around this would probably be providing a different key combo for OS X, similar to other plugins.

Here's a list of the current OS level keyboard shortcuts on OS X: https://www.webnots.com/option-or-alt-key-shortcuts-to-insert-symbols-in-mac-os-x/

Thanks. Note that you can change keybindings within Atom or open the debugger using the command palette.
