Hi all,
In the Atari guidelines, there is a warning against using the
Alternate key for shortcuts (it talks about non-English
keyboards). For many programs (mine, StormTracker, included)
this is very restricting... Using Ctrl for File and Edit
functions and Alternate for the Samples functions makes a lot more sense
than using the remaining Ctrl keys.
Also, I've noticed that the 'Save As...' function gets mapped about all
over the place, ^M, ^R, Shift-^S...
Any views?
Thanks,
David Oakley, author DeskTracker and StormTracker
