Keyboard ShortCuts reference:

=============================

(see also the HTML online documentation, or the Launcher's "Settings-Keyboard" dialog).

For Smalltalkers, the most useful key first:

============================================

    Pause/Break             is the UserInterrupt key: "interrupt & enter debugger"

    CTRL-. and also CMD-.   do the same, for all those used to VW or Squeak

Attention: Recent Changes:

F2      Was changed from CodeCompletion to Rename (for win32 compatibility);

	If you don't like that, see & edit the "keyboard.rc" file.

	CTRL-SPACE still works for completion.

ALT-SPACE snippet insertion has been added (try typing <t><s><ALT-SPACE>)

Notice1:

    for most systems: the CMD-key is mapped to the left ALT-key.

    This includes the Mac, where currently the Apple-CMD key is used

    by Xquartz (which is a little annoying at times).

Notice2:

    case matters; CMD-a is different from CMD-A  (CMD-Shift-a)

    case matters; Ctrl-a is different from Ctrl-A  (Ctrl-Shift-a)

Notice3:

    the settings are defined during startup, by reading the

    file: "keyboard.rc".

    In our lab, we are working across all kinds of systems (windows,

    osx, linux), but always in Smalltalk. So the keyboard settings

    are set to be the same across them. Therefore, some keys behave

    different from the native OS's standard.

    If you don't like the settings, change them!

Notice4:

    You can add your own keyboard macros and/or change the shortKey

    mapping, by modifying the file "keyboard.rc" (make a save copy first).

    The either restart ST/X, or file-in the modified one.

Special (national) Characters:

=============================

There is a virtual keyboard found on the popUpMenu, under "others"-"others"-"special keys".

Keep this view open, beside your editor and click on a character to insert it.

Unix only:

==========

The right CTRL-key is used as a Compose key

(this can be changed in the "keyboard.rc" file).

Composed national characters are entered as a 3-character sequence:

    COMPOSE key1 key2

press them in sequence - not at the same.

For example, the french e-accentGrave is entered as:

    COMPOSE e `

and the german ä (umlaut-a) is entered as:

    COMPOSE a "

A full list is found in the Method "WindowSensor initializeComposeKeyTable".

Alternatively, special characters can be copy/pasted from the following list:

(Notice: you can also use a font-display via the text-editors

    'more'-'tools'-'specialCharacters'

 menu to insert any special character)

    acute:

	Á É Í Ó Ú Ý     á é í ó ú ý    [ Compose <char> ' ]

    grave:

	À È Ì Ò Ù       à è ì ò ù      [ Compose <char> ` ]

    circumflex:

	Â Ê Î Ô Û       â ê î ô û      [ Compose <char> ^ ]

    tilde:

	Ã Õ Ñ           ã õ ñ          [ Compose <char> ~ ]

    dieresis:

	Ä Ë Ï Ö Ü       ä ë ï ö ü ÿ    [ Compose <char> " ]

    slash:

	Ø ø                            [ Compose <char> / ]

    ring:

	Å å                            [ Compose <char> * ]

    cedille:

	Ç ç                            [ Compose <char> , ]
