| Summary | 0003260: Use default osx copy-paste shortcuts. | ||||
| Description | Ardour does not follow the common key combinations for copy paste on the mac, which are command/apple-c command/apple-v. It uses instead ctrl-c ctrl-v . It would be nice if ardour would use the common copy-paste behaviour of nearly all other osx apps. "The Command key has a single purpose: allowing the user to enter keyboard shortcut commands to GUI applications. The Macintosh Human Interface Guidelines have always recommended that developers use the Command key (and not the Control or Option keys) for this purpose. A small set of shortcuts (such as cut and paste, open and save) are standard across nearly all applications, and many other shortcuts are standardized (Find, Show Fonts). If an application needs more shortcuts than can be obtained with the twenty-six letters of the Latin alphabet, double modifiers such as Command+Option are used." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Command_key | ||||

Ardour on OS X (Cocoa/Quartz) uses Command everywhere that Ardour on X11 users Ctrl. the only places where this is not true are places that GTK, the GUI toolkit we use, has its own X11-inspired bindings. Changing this cannot be done (sensibly) within Ardour, and there is already an active bug filed against GTK to make this change, which will effect all applications that use GTK. |
