- Executor maps the apple 'command' key to the 'alt' key. For me, at
- least, this creates some inconsistencies between windows & macintosh
- versions of the same program. For example, MS excel or word commands
- that use the 'control' key under windows then use the 'alt' key under
- executor. This inconsistency slows me down and/or results in
- errors.
-
- One suggestion, would be to add an option to say the <alt><shift>5
- panel to allow alternate mappings of the apple control keys. Many
- other emulator programs such as terminal emulators allow this.
-
- Just a friendly suggestion,
- Jeff
