Shell (application)

In Mac OS X: I loved that shortcuts such as ⌘-C and ⌘-V worked as expected in Terminal.

With FreeBSD as a base for helloSystem, Control-Shift-C and Control-Shift-C are sane defaults. I see them as shortcuts:

– albeit not yet effective.

I would like ⌘ to show up in the menu instead of Ctrl...

I would like ⌘ to show …

To appear only if a (Mac) keyboard with ⌘ is detectable (or set by the user)?

Walk through …

Alt and Control have been de-swapped ☑ but Alt-⇥ and Shift-Alt-⇥ have no effect.

They are on Ctrl when you de-swap... can be changed in

on Ctrl when you de-swap.

That's not normal. Normal (non-swapped) use of forward walk-through should be in response to Alt-⇥.

probonopd commented 3 years ago

As you know, we swap Ctrl and Alt by default. To still have window switching work as usual, we had to put it on Ctrl in the Openbox configuration.

One way (albeit messy) to resolve this would be to ship (or create on-the-fly) separate Openbox configurations for swapped and non-swapped... but we'd need to do this for HiDPI and non-HiDPI... hence messy.

In the meantime, users wishing to change this need to edit the Openbox configuration file.

Anyone, is there a better way?
