[Bug][Fix] Setting copy/paste-key preference under Windows doesnot work

Thank you for the feedback

My comment to the platform specific settings for Windows:




Currently both

     duplicateControlAndAltKeys
     and
     controlAndAltKeys

are both set to false by default.


Setting either one _or_ the other to true by default is better what we
have now IMO.


So there is one change which is undisputed:
Changing #true to true in the last line of the method
SmalltalkImage>>setPlatformPreferences

and the other question which of these parameters to set actually.

See <http://bugs.impara.de/view.php?id=601>
I hope that this bug may be closed soon .... ;-)

Hannes



BTW: Would it be possible that somebody checks the documentation (swiki
and image) if these settings  duplicateControlAndAltKeys and
controlAndAltKeys are documented consistently and comes up with two final
proposals people can vote for.
