Hi,
I am using Squeak5.2, in MacOS.
According to Help -> Keyboard Shortcut: ---- Ctrl-' Toggle enclosure within double-quotes Cmd-' Toggle enclosure within single-quotes ----
Neither of those works. The only way to make a selected part of text commented is to press Shift+' . This sequence does not toggle, it just quotes the region.
I may have installed a nasty package because I am pretty sure I was able to comment/uncomment regions a few days ago.
Do you observe the same behavior ?
Post Scriptum: Can you tell me where this is implemented and save me X hours of digging ? :) I would like to change it a bit.
Bye Nicola

I am unable to reproduce this in Squeak 5.2-18231 (Linux 64b). Alt-' (Alt in Linux = Cmd key in Mac) works as expected. Ctrl-' is treated like alt-shift-' (alt-").

TextEditor>>enclose: handles this action. This method is invoked from a lookup table cmdMap initialized in TextEditor class>>initializeCmdKeyShortcuts.
BTW, you may want to keep the following code snippets handy in a workspace to debug keyboard events:
HandMorph showEvents: true HandMorph showEvents: false
HTH .. Subbu
Thank you Subbu, I see the table where the shortcuts are defined, nice !
bye n.

Hi,
I think this could be a bug in TextEditor>>#enclose:. On a Qwerty keyboard, everything might work as expected. But for example on a Qwertz keyboard, none of '{}|"<>' is entered by holding shift and pressing one of the keys for '[]'',.'.
But I do not really understand this method fully: When is this shift transformation ever used? At least in my image (running on Win10), KeyboardEvent>>#keyCharacter always respects the shift state and directly returns $( or similar values. Disabling this section does not appear to change any observable behavior. Is this OS specific or even keyboard layout specific, or is #enclose: out of date?
In case the section is still relevant: Does Squeak currently has any logic regarding the local keyboard layout? If not, a simple approach might be to introduce a keyboard layout preference and to define a default dictionary for these shift replacements per keyboard layout.
Looking forward to your answers :)
Best,
Christoph
