I posted about my patch to this problem at:
http://processing.org/discourse/yabb_beta/YaBB.cgi?board=os_core_pde;action=display;num=1237927985


Everything compiles and runs just fine with the updated Editor.java.

Thanks for looking into this. I should have been cleared in the original
report: we need to use the Windows (and/or Gnome or KDE, or even Mac if
they refer to accelerators at all) human interface guidelines to set the
default accelerator keys where available, then add our own on top of that.
(Or I could be mistaken and this algorithm is already how they're determined.)

Of course! I've downloaded the UX / HIG for kde, gnome, os x, and vista.
I'll be back with some comments as soon as I have a better idea what the
accepted standards are.

I tried attaching a larger pdf that contained highlighted regions from the
UX guidelines for each of the different platforms, but the server wouldn't
accept it. It's available on request. What is the limit on what you can
post at once? It'd be helpful to know on the upload page.
Additional Comment #10 From fry 2010-02-17 20:42
the limit should be a few megabytes. can you post it somewhere else? or
make it smaller perhaps? thanks!
