[oXygen-user] key remapping

[Sorin Ristache]

Hello,

I am sorry, you are right. There are Apple keyboards with keys having 
the Home and End words on them. <oXygen/> is a Java application and it 
does not use Cocoa but we will try to offer a way to remap more keys 
than what is now available in the Menu Shortcut Keys panel (menu Options 
-> Preferences). I logged the request to our internal database.


Best regards,
Sorin
