[Cuis-dev] Update: Alt+Return as a full screen toggle shortcut

[Luciano Notarfrancesco]

I agree. I don’t want to change the way events work in Morphic and I don’t
want to add extra complexity, what I’m proposing is to put the logic to
handle a couple of global shortcuts in HandMorph or a subclass instead of
hardcode them in the event classes. I wouldn’t even add preferences or
anything like that that would add more indirection.
