Mac version

[iceblink]

Hello,

I just wanted to say, the latest version works like a charm on Mac

The only tiny thing i would like to see improved is that the program uses MS Windows key shortcuts, and I feel the Mac version should have Mac shortcuts. So for example: File; Exit is Alt-F4 on Windows, but on Mac it is Cmd-Q

Here is an overview of the shortcuts on Mac: http://faq.programmerworld.net/misc/mac-...tcuts.html

Hopefully it is not too difficult to do... and if it is, don't worry about it, the program works fine as it is (it just feels wrong )

Thanks very much for programming this wonderful application, and taking the time and effort to provide us with a Mac version!

Hello iceblink,

I'm happy to hear that.

Actually I never had access to a Mac to test this and I don't know, what is Mac-like. So I'd like to turn it around and I need your help for that.

• I've just uploaded a RouteConverter prerelease that might define Cmd-Q for exiting the application. Please test and report.
  
• Then have a look at the resource definition. The shortcuts in the resource file end with -shortcut
  
• An example is exit-action-keystroke=alt F4 which defines the shortcut for the File/Exit action
  
• Please prepare a list of all keystrokes within RouteConverter that have to be changed to fit the Mac-style.
  
• I'm building a prerelease version whenever you tell me to do so to test your shortcusts.

I downloaded the 7 September version.
Cmd-Q does "something" but I don't know what. It makes RouteConverter hang and I can't close the application. I have to manually kill it.

How do you want me to add the shortcuts?
Replace "Ctrl O" with "Cmd O", and "Alt F4" with "Cmd Q"?

That would help. The shortcuts in the resource file end with -shortcut

An example is exit-action-keystroke=alt F4 which defines the shortcut for the File/Exit action

If you give me lines like

exit-action-keystroke=alt F4

or better

exit-action-keystroke-mac=Meta Q

then I'm building a prerelease version to test your shortcusts.

I think it would be nice, but only really helpful for people who are not familiar with windows shortcuts at all. But then again I would probably say the same thing if I only used Mac and didn't know my way round Windows keyboard shortcuts.
