Keyboard ShortCuts reference:
=============================
(see also the HTML online documentation, or the Launchers "Settings-Keyboard" menu).
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.
Notice1:
for most systems: the CMD-key is mapped to the left ALT-key.
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' - if you don't like the settings, change them !
For Smalltalkers, the most useful key first:
CTRL-c (unix) or Pause/Break (win) is: "interrupt & enter debugger"
Default Functionkey mapping (see 'keyboard.rc' for details):

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> ` ]
