- Oh boy, you're not alone! Ever tried a non-US keyboard with the
- command-option combination? You get a complete US-keyboard layout (At
- least in German and Swiss-German). I told Apple this but then they seem
- to have more important problems. My guess: fix it yourself using ResEdit
- 2.1.1, but still try to get into contact with Apple and tell them. I
- tried to get command-[ and command-] to run in MPW (Shift left, Shift
- right), but this is command-option-5 and command-option-6 on a Swiss
- keyboard. It only worked after I fixed the KCHR resource.
