So a rounded rect around a number is not a clear indictor that it's a different character? People have been able to clearly see the difference between í, ì, and i for hundreds of years, so that's a pretty lame excuse. I've never been confused seeing these numpad glyphs in good ol' Carbon menus. > That said, if you insist on going down this path, it might work to include > NSNumericPadKeyMask in the key equivalent mask for the item. This only affects the key used to trigger it, not the appearance of the glyph in the menu item. > But seriously: Think about how much you want to annoy notebook users first. OK, we'll annoy them by taking away key equivs they've been used to using in our app for the past umpteen years. Why is it that people on these lists prefer giving their opinions instead of technical knowledge? -- Steve Mills office: 952-818-3871 home: 952-401-6255 cell: 612-803-6157 _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
