Actually, it looks to be working as unexpected, but designed: since I can bind the keystroke in a regular keymap, this is all good. The only oddity is that S-tab translates to C-y, which presumably has some NeXTStep related history I don't know. The remapping stuff is working as designed, even if that is confusing. ...but feel free to point them at this discussion if you think it justifies a bug report where I don't. I am happy to answer questions from the developers and all. :) Daniel -- ✣ Daniel Pittman ✉ daniel@rimspace.net ☎ +61 401 155 707 ♽ made with 100 percent post-consumer electrons
