Description Rodrigo Peretti CLA 2001-10-11 14:21:31 EDT 
- added a project from repository
	- opened a file
	- CTRL + S does not do anything
	- CTRL + SPACE neither

	The CTRL key is working. I can multiselect on the navigator.

NOTES: n

EG (6/4/2001 11:44:31 AM)
	CTRL + S and CTRL + SPACE work on windows.
	This must be an SWT problem on Linux. Moving to SWT.

		This was the "Num Lock" key pressed problem. This needs
		to be documented in the release notes for linux.

	McQ (05/06/2001 11:00:40 AM) -
		We should also take a look at hooking all combinations 
		of CAPS and NUM lock.

	McQ (26/06/2001 2:44:46 PM) -
		Make accelerators work reasonably on linux!

We are still investigating this, but currently there does not seem to be a way 
to hook multiple accelerators (i.e. ctrl-s and ctrl+shift-s, etc.) on the same 
menu item. This means that the problem can not be fixed without abandoning the 
native support, which is something we don't want to do.

Finally fixed after > 10 years of trying <g>.  It's actually easy as of Motif 
2; I saw the required approach on a newsgroup.  We hook the accelerator 
provided, as well as with Lock (caps), Mod2 (numlock), and Lock Mod2 
(caps+numlock).

Changed title and milestone to better reflect problem and release date.
