Hi Fabio, hi Nicolas,

oh good catch! It does indeed work as expected with https://bintray.com/opensmalltalk/vm/download_file?file_path=squeak.cog.spur_linux64x64_201912301201.tar.gz and Kernel.nice.1292.

Thank you!
Tom

Hi Tom,

Please note we haven't updated the 5.3beta VMs with Nicolas' fixes yet. You can get one right now from Bintray though.

Hi Nicolas,

this allows the texteditor to use alt+num again on my linux, however all other shortcuts no longer work with ctrl (with duplicate all enabled), only with alt. Changing to "swap" makes both modifiers act as ctrl, rather than alt.

I use http://files.squeak.org/trunk/Squeak5.3beta-19301-64bit/Squeak5.3beta-19301-64bit-201911282316-Linux.zip as VM.

Thank you for your help!
Tom

Hi Tom,
could you try loading Kernel-nice.1292 from the inbox and report if it fixes the issue?

Hey everyone,

disclaimers: not entirely sure if we currently have an RC version. I have tested on the most recent trunk build, on linux. Also, I think I saw a mail on that topic, so maybe it is intentional behavior.

Alt+num in the Browser/TextEditors no longer pastes the num-th argument at the cursor. Instead, it focuses the dockingbar menuitems. I am running with the default preferences (meaning "duplicate all"). The code that catches away the events is found in DockingBarMorph>>filterEvent:for:, I suppose recent changes in the translation of alt/ctrl to command have caused this change in behavior.

If given the choice, I would much prefer my arguments to be completed, rather than focusing the menu via the alt+num shortcut.

Best,
Tom
