This is a known issue and we hope to fix this in an upcoming
Software Update. Can't comment on exactly when, but hopefully soon.
Very happy to read this, really :-)
BTW, I know that Apple developers have a lot of work, but if this
is possible, *this would be really great* if you could add "kb"
extension as *default* option for X11. This way, *all* free
software like OpenOffice.org (but all gnome applications too..)
could use {[ }] | \ $ keys again, like with Panther...
As you probably know, the actual provided X11 is a something like
a nightmare about this point :
ALT key does *not* work at all and we have to remap it to make it
work. Very annoying as you can see, because even if it's not a
problem for me, it's not serious to ask a "normal user" to do the
remapping of Mode_Switch from mod1 to mod5...
The fix is really trivial, and won't cause any problem at all (we
have tested).
To save time, I provide you a solution, as a patch like the one
Florian Heckl sent me somes time ago. As you can see the fix is
trivial... :
