Various Key Binding Assignment Bugs and Restrictions

I have a few issues and was wondering if anyone knows if my Xcode installation is botched, the problems are bugs, or if there are workarounds. I am usually able to *assign* these shortcuts, but they don't actually work if invoked.


- I'd like to assign Command-L to "Select Line" so it's identical to my BBEdit setup. This does not work, it seems any key bindings with the Command key somehow don't reach the text pane. It works if I use something like Ctrl-L. I might actually reconfigure BBEdit if that's the only way to have these two commands identical.

- I was wondering if the Cmd-shortcuts work if assigned to the items in the "Menu Key Bindings" subpane. Just for fun I assigned Command-L to the "View" -> "Detail View Columns" entry. As usual I double- clicked the table cell for the shortcut, hit Cmd-L and clicked the "Apply" button. The key binding assignment immediately vanished again from the table cell. At this point, an "attempt to remove nil key" appears in the console log. If I double-click the table cell again, re-assign Command-L and hit "Apply again", the field editor is not dismissed, and not a single keyboard shortcut in the entire application works anymore. Not even the basic ones like Cmd-Q, Cmd-W etc. I have to mouse to the app menu and select "Quit" there and restart Xcode. This does not happen with all the entries, just some of them.

- I am unable to assign just the Esc key without modifiers to the "Complete" (Text Key Binding) or "Completion List" (Menu Key Bindings) items. I can assign it, but when I hit it, I just get an upside-down question mark inserted. If I use the predefined Cmd-Esc or Option-Esc, it works, the list pops up. I *really* want to use Esc without modifiers, because that is what I've been using with ODCompletionDictionary all the time. I was hoping that I could use Xcode's completion and macro expansion features from now on, but for now I just reinstalled ODCompletionDictionary. I edited its default macros to match the placeholder token syntax of Xcode (<# #> instead of « ») so I can at least use Xcode's default bindings for selecting the placeholders.

- (what is the difference between these two Complete Commands anyway?)
