Keystroke shortcuts in OSX
Posted: Wed Oct 07, 2020 9:38 pm
Hi all,
This previous topic was raised a couple of years ago, but no-one responded to it:
topic17685.html
I'm raising a fresh ticket because this is a consistent problem for us and I can't find a solution. We use a lot of code templates with keystroke shortcuts, and for a range of them, on OSX, the code template works, but then a system-defined keystroke shortcut also triggers, causing another character to be output in addition to the code template content. In other words, when Oxygen processes a keystroke shortcut, it doesn't prevent propagation of the event on to the OS level, so the OS shortcut also triggers.
Would it be possible to fix this, or at least provide a configuration option for code templates that enables suppression of event propagation to prevent it happening?
All help appreciated,
Martin
