In article <19741@ucbvax.BERKELEY.EDU>, oster@dewey.soe.berkeley.edu (David
< 1.) Thanks to Apple for fixing the keyboard! On a MacPlus, the shifted
< arrow keys produce an EventRecord identical to the ones produced by
< *,\,-,= on the numeric keypad. On the Mac SE and MacII, the shifted
< arrow keys produce an EventRecord identical to the un-shifted arrow
< keys (same ascii and keycode), but the shift bit is set in the
< modifiers field of the EventRecord. This is just the right thing.
Actually, I think this is fixed on System 4.1 and the Plus, which has
the new _KeyTrans trap used for the ADB keyboards on the SE and II.
In MPW 2.0b1, command-up-arrow and command-shift-up-arrow have distinct
meanings and they both seem to work.
