so small example:
let's say I have menu item called "Protocols" .... I will decide to use "P" as char as
shortcut key. So pressing Alt + "P" pop-ups the right menu on me ... while Ctrl + "P"
is
used to be used as "print" shortcut in most Windows apps ... I just wonder what would
Windows users do, if Alt + "P" would be linked to any of int. chars?
So you say, on Amiga, you can't assign Alt + "some-char" to let's say menu-action, if
some-char key is linked to any international char?
... OK, it's up to you to find some optimal solution, no problem here. Now just tell
me
how to underline part of face text? :-) Maybe VID could contain some kind of dialect
to
allow various text styles being present inside one text face? :-) Has anyone found any
solution yet? (don't tell me I should use separate faces for each text style?) Will there
be any solution to that in the future?
Thanks,
