Keyboard shortcuts in terminal window (CTRL - Command inversion)

Open defcon8 opened this issue 3 years ago • 4 comments

helloSystem 0.8.0 (Build 0H284)

I noticed that in the QTerminal simple keyboard commands like CTRL+C or CTRL-X are not working (for example to break a ping commando or exit nano). CTRL seems swapped for Command, which is absolutely desirable for the desktop, but not in the terminal window.

We are swapping Ctrl and Alt globally on PC keyboards, for the whole system. So we would somehow need to swap them a second time for QTerminal. But this also poses a logical challenge. When you press Alt-C on a PC keyboard, we want this to be Command-C in helloSystem; so what to do in QTerminal?

Nice work, this project coming along nicely. Should open another issue perhaps,and you may already be aware of this, but... The global menu command keys seem to still be detached from the Filer. Like command + number to select file list view mode (icons,detailed list, etc.). They work of you click the menu first, but that defeats the purpose of command keys.

Hello @PaulMcClernan, please do open a separate ticket. That's a strange issue, as some Filer shortcuts work while others don't (e.g., Command-O does open a file or folder).
