Revision as of 23:56, 15 January 2005
This table will include keyboard shortcuts for all applications covered in the app-specific areas. It will be in one file, with the visibility of columns controlled via platform-specific CSS. This is technically doable, but it may require a little extra hacking, because we unfortunately can't set display: none on table columns (the W3-specified way is visibility: collapse, with collapse being the only recognized value for the property).
This is a list of the keyboard shortcuts in Thunderbird and other applications.
The keyboard shortcut modifiers aren't exactly specified as Control, Shift, Alt, etc. in the app. The specification is actually something like:
- META - corresponds to Ctrl on Win/Linux, Cmd on Mac
- ALT - Alt on Win/Linux, Opt on Mac
- CONTROL - Ctrl on all platforms
- SHIFT - Shift on all platforms
- RETURN - Enter on Win/Linux, Return on Mac
This makes things somewhat complicated, but overall it's not as bad as one would think. This also lets us make things look good on all platforms by using the proper terminology.
