Hi,
I am running an Xview program on the Macintosh, and remotely from a
Solaris OS computer. I have found that some meta keys work from the Mac
while others do not.
Example:
To have the Save command work I had to assign it to meta-shift-S for
the Mac, either running it locally or from a remote Mac or Windows
machine.
But if the Same program, i.e. compiled from the same source code, is
running on the Solaris machine then I can use meta-s for save. This
works from the Windows machine but again it does not work from the
Macintosh.
I have made a whole list of which keys work and which do not but I
don't understand why some would and others would not. Another example I
can assign uppercase A (meta-shift-A) for a shortcut on the Mac but not
lowercase a (meta-a). I have tried this with the preferences for X11
input set to Enable key equivalents under X11 and with it off, which
has made no difference. I am running 10.3.2, with X11.app 1.0,
developers tools and SDK's installed.
any thoughts on this?
Eric
