Hi all--
Recently I've been running Squeak on remote machines, using xpra for a virtual display. I connect to the virtual display from an X server running on an Ubuntu virtual machine running in Parallels on my Mac laptop.
It all works great, except for... I can't halt. The halt keybinding for my host platform (command-period) doesn't make it to Squeak through all the layers of keyboard event handling. I'm sure I'll figure something out, but I thought I'd first ask if anyone else has already taken some countermeasure they like.
thanks!

On Linux the standard mapping is alt-period, have you tried that?

Actually, I think it does. I just ran the same unit test on a local object memory; at the time I want to halt, the virtual machine is too wedged to deal with keyboard input at all... so nothing to do with the virtual display.
