- 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,
-
