Hi again,
win2k sp4, Python 2.4.2, wxPython 2, 6, 2, 1, 'pre.20060106')
I met one another issue with the kbd shortcuts in pyShell. Font
size increasing and decreasing are achieved through Ctrl+] and
Ctrl+[. Unfortunatelly, this is not working on my Swiss French
keyboard, because the chars [ and ] are available with the help of
the AltGr key. A "[" is entered with an AltGr+è on my keyboard,
so an Ctrl + AltGr + é is a non sense and will logically not work.
I also will not be suprised, if the [,] chars are only available
through an AltGr on some other "european" keyboards.
Second point. I did not look at the pyShell code, I wonder if it
is necessary to use or to (re)define these Ctrl+[ and - Ctrl+]
commands. By default, Scintilla uses the Ctrl+numpad_+ and
Ctrl+numpad_- to increase and decrease the font size and
Ctrl+numpad_/ to restore the default setting. These Ctrl+[ and
and Ctrl+] seems redundant. In my psi shell, I am using the
Scintilla default behaviour and it is perfectly working.
When I write wxPython applications, I always pay attention to
the keyboard shortcuts and I always use a "modifiers+[A-Z]" pattern
where pattern is different from Alt+Ctrl (=AltGr). It seems to
me these keys, A-Z, are the only safe keys, that can and *should be*
used in the latin-1 world.
Last minute info: I asked some French people. They get the
[, ] with the AltGr+( and AltGr+) keys. They will encountered
the same kind of problem I have.
