Weird. I'm trying to create a menu with an item whose accelerator is Shift-Delete. I have the following resources in my app-defaults file: *edit_menu*delete.labelString: Delete *edit_menu*delete.mnemonic: D *edit_menu*delete.accelerator: Shift<Key>Delete *edit_menu*delete.acceleratorText: Shift+Del This behaves strangely on the Sun type 4 keyboard. The "Del" key on the numeric keypad works, but the "Delete" key in the main key area does not. This is in spite of the fact that xev shows the "Del" key is producing KP_Decimal when shifted, and the "Delete" key is producing Delete (as it should). In fact, I get the same results if I take the "Shift" out of the accelerator. The "Del" key works and the "Delete" key doesn't. Has anyone seen this before? Is there a fix? Thanks very much, -- -- Bob Weissman -- Internet: rw@rational.com -- UUCP: uunet!igor!rw --
