Provide a preference to use opt instead of alt to match modern Mac keyboards which label that key "option"
I suggest two changes:
- When typing Mac shortcuts, allow using either opt or alt to specify that modifier key.
- Have a global setting that displays the shortcut using either the alt or opt modifier regardless of how it was originally entered.
Hi!
Thanks for your suggestion! I was thinking about something like this when originally implementing it. However, I thought it would be cool if KeyCombiner could help standardize key names across platforms. Some macOS keyboards even additionally have the alt
label depicted on the Option key.
This decision felt pretty good until now as nobody complained. I guess this changed now :sweat_smile:
I will consider it for future updates!
Make it a settable option. It slows my down to have to do the mental translation every time.
