In other words: Cmd-Shift-9 doesn't work if I skip the configuration wizard (accepting defaults), nor does it work if I explicitly enable 'legacy keyboard shortcuts' in the configuration wizard. I am on a US keyboard.<br><br>Perhaps related: another difference between 5.3 and 6.0beta is in Cmd-9 (without Shift held). On 5.3, Cmd-9 seems to decrease the font kerning so the letters become closer together. On 6.0beta, Cmd-9 underlines text. Is it possible that this change is related to Cmd-Shift-9 no longer working? (Was there some brave & necessary unraveling & reimagining of various layers of keyboard shortcuts over the 6.0 development cycle...?)<br><br>Thanks,<br>Tim J<br><br>PS — I bring this up because no one has explicitly said that Cmd-Shift-9 is gone forever. Sounds like it is expected to still be possible to use this shortcut...? But if it is gone and won't come back, please, tell me, and I will light a candle for it. I may find it challenging to adapt to the new mechanism, because pressing a visible character, with no modifiers held, while text is selected, has a long history of replacing the selected text. But challenges make us stronger, and Squeak is the most flexible system...<br><br><br><br><br></div></blockquote>
