I have a custom view that allows drag and drop from it into a text
editor. I am implementing a system by which different modifier keys
affect the formatting of the text that is dragged. So far, a straight
drag and drop does what I have defined, holding down Command does a
different formatting and holding down Command + Option creates a third
formatting option. I need one more formatting option, so I tried to
implement it by holding down only the Option key. However, holding down
option and doing the drag from my application is snapped back by the
receiving text editor. If I temporarily change the code in question to
trigger by just the Command key, it works fine. So, I know something is
going onto the clipboard during the drag and that it's formatting
properly. I just can't figure out why Option by itself as a modifier to
the drag and drop is refused by a text editor. If I Option-drag from
XCode into TextEdit, it seems to work just fine. So, clearly this
action is allowed between applications.
What would prevent NSAlternateKeyMask from performing a task that
NSCommandKeyMask handles perfectly?
