We have a situation in a module. We’re working on where the development team mainly is in France and using an AZERTY keyboard. The developer is using option up arrow and option down arrow to trigger certain commands. But I’m MacIntosh the option arrow keys seem to be captured to do something else so those keyboard commands don’t work.
Are there any ideas?
At this point changing the option arrows to something else is not appealing because in many cases, we have related actions that should sit side-by-side on the keyboard and there are very few key pairs that exist on the QWERTY keyboard and on the AZERTY keyboard. I just wanted to see if there was some way to stop the MacIntosh from grabbing these keys.
So I tried it in my initial test I didn’t get it to work. I’m gonna go over it again. Since I developed these modules too, I just took the one that was offending my sensibilities and changed all the keyboard commands back to what I liked, but that doesn’t work for our release version because a lot of our people are in France and they don’t like the keyboard combinations because of where the keys sit in relation to each other on their keyboard. Thanks for the tip though. I’m gonna try it out and see if I can’t make it work.
