And each platform does it in a slightly different way:<br> - On Linux, it works OK<br> - On MacOS, I just pushes an update that improves the situation, but possibly only for keyboards with US layout<br> - On Windows, there's no way to tell ctrl-[ from ctrl-{ . They are reported the same!<br> <br> Take a look at #4975. Also play a bit with `Sensor test`.<br> <br> The current state is not correct. But I don't know how to improve it (BTW, in Squeak it is actually worse, because in Cuis, in the method in #4975, I fix it the best I can).<br> <br> Thanks,<br> <br> On 11/22/2021 5:11 PM, Mark via Cuis-dev wrote: <blockquote cite="mid:3B978577-3197-4C88-9FAD-451627E31860@virtualmdj.com" type="cite"> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"> Hi, <div class=""><br class=""> </div> <div class="">According to the Smalltalk Editor Help:</div> <div class=""><br class=""> </div> <blockquote style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 40px; border: medium none; padding: 0px;" class=""> <div class=""><font class="" face="Menlo">Cmd-" <span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Enclose within double quotes, or remove enclosing double quotes</font></div> </blockquote> <div class=""><br class=""> </div> <div class="">However, it surrounds my text with an apostrophe (“single-quote”) character instead of a quote (“double-quote”) character.</div> <div class=""><br class=""> </div> <div class="">Specifically, if I have the following in the Workspace (or any other editor):</div> <div class=""><br class=""> </div> <div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span><font class="" face="Menlo">Hello, world</font></div> <div class=""><br class=""> </div> <div class="">And I highlight it and press <<font class="" face="Menlo">cmd-“</font>>, the result is:</div> <div class=""><br class=""> </div> <div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span><font class="" face="Menlo">‘Hello, world'</font></div> <div class=""><br class=""> </div> <div class="">But, I would have expected it to result with:</div> <div class=""><br class=""> </div> <div class=""> <div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>"<font class="" face="Menlo">Hello, world"</font></div> </div> <div class=""><font class="" face="Menlo"><br class=""> </font></div> <div class="">I used this as an opportunity to explore the system, and (after quite a while!
