At this moment I don't have access to OSX, what shortcut could work insted of Option E?

You can test it editing this file/line

[tablatronix]

Was there a reason you changed them, or did you just want them single key not double?

[gepd]

Someone opened a issue for a shortcut that was overriden a system shortcut, so I made some changes to have kind the same shortcuts in all platforms, but shortcuts in windows work different from linux and as I don't have access to OSX I haven not tried if all is working correctly there.

Would be something like cmd+alt+e better/comfortable?

[tablatronix]

Not sure i understand, PC is still alt D - E, what that not what OSx was also ? I thought they WERE the same

[tablatronix]

#132 ?

[tablatronix]

I would remove most of the shortcuts and only set ones for the absolute needed, requiring users to set others maybe ?

Serial port console stuff compile upload library access

Not sure how you prevent overriding stuff

[gepd]

Yes, remove the rest can be a possibility. The main issue with shortcuts is that windows let you use alt+d, alt+f but linux don't, so I assume in OSX will have the same behavior.

I've testing in Linux and seems that shotcuts like: alt+shift+f could be work. That section could have the following shortcuts:

Compile: alt+shift+f Upload: alt+shift+e Override baudrate: alt+shift+o Clean Sketch: alt+shift+x Open pio.ini: alt+shift+i

[tablatronix]

I actually prefer 2 strokes easier to use than double modifiers. alt D + alt E is esaier than ctrl +shift + x

[gepd]

alt based modifiers seems not to be available in Linux I suppose it aren't available in OSX too. They are used to open the float menu, what is working is ctrl modifier, but ctrl+d is used by the system, so I should use a new letter

[tablatronix]

oh yeah talk about complicated you almost need a script to read key maps and show whats available. lol

[gepd]

Yes, it's a good idea. The problem is the diferences between each platform

[John-Titor]

The macOS modifiers are all option+?, which are nonstandard (usually option is used for entering other characters); I'd recommend not using option+ without another modifier.
