change which keys are C and A?
Submitted by Anonymous on Saturday, 29 January, 2005 - 11:43
I work on both a Mac and a PC side by side, using the same keyboard for both.

On a Mac, jEdit uses the Command key as Ctrl and the Ctrl key as Alt. This is pretty jarring when I'm switching back and forth from one to the other.

Is there a way to change this behavior?

Nevermind; not long after I posted this I realized that jEdit 4.2 and above was broken on Mac (jEdit doesn't recognize the keyboard's control key and won't let you bind shortcuts to the option/alt key), that these problems were first reported *over a year ago*, and they haven't yet been fixed. Great.
