- OK, Apple -- what gives?
-
- Why have you changed the way command keys are interpreted in 7.1?
- You've mucked around with the "option" key and have screwed me up.
- I mean, I can understand not differentiating between "a" and "A", since
- that would be pretty confusing, but I don't really think that "option-A"
- should be the same as "a" (or "shift-a").
-
- I really liked being able to assign command-option-whatever to a menu
- selection in the Finder. Now I can't do this. Booo! And for this I
- paid $30?
-
- So how can I hack the option filter out? There must be some bytes to
- null away somewhere in your code to remove the option equivalence, right?
-
- I await your reply with palpable eagerness. Right.
