[squeak-dev] How to do Cmd-( or Ctrl-( in trunk

Hi Tim --

Enable "Legacy Keyboard shortcuts" and use a US/UK keyboard layout. Then it should work.

Always use the "command" key. Not the "control" key.

Ctrl-Shift is broken under Windows at the moment because it swallows the uppercase character ( $( ). You must press Alt+Shift+9 to make it work. I just tested it and it works.

Hmm.... can somebody else test this on macOS? I may be able to do that tomorrow. ´

In the meantime: Can you try the other brackets? {} [] '' "" || <> ... the opening bracket adds a level, the closing bracket removes one. 

Best,
Marcel

Hi,

A shortcut I commonly use is Cmd-( or Ctrl-( (a.k.a. Cmd-Shift-9 or
Ctrl-Shift-9) to enclose the selection in parentheses.

I cannot get this to work on trunk, on Windows or macOS.

On macOS, I tried toggling the 'legacy keyboard shortcuts' (any
documentation on specifics of that one?) but it did not change this.

On Windows, Ctrl-Shift-9 brings up the menu for 'HomeProject' whether
Shift is held or not. On macOS, it does not come up while holding shift.

Any suggestions for how to bring back this muscle-memory keyboard
shortcut, which is listed under Help -> Keyboard Shortcuts?

Thanks,
Tim
