Wrong modifier show in menus.

[bga]

It seems that Haiku shows the wrong modifier key in menus. Although the default for operations like Cut/Paste is ALT, it shows CTL throughout the system (in Tracker, StyledEdit, Terminal, etc).

Forgot to mention that ALT+C works as expected while CTL+C does not. Even with the menus showing CTL as the modifier key.

Noticed that too, it seems to depend on the keymap: For US International it looked correct but not for German.

Interestingly Ctrl+C does work for the right Ctrl key but not for the left one.

The modifiers situation is a bit confusing: Using the italian keymap, the CTRL shortcut key is the default, and if I choose ALT as shortcut key, then I can't produce some symbols anymore (I.e. the @ symbol, which is produced with ALT-GR + the ò key, in the italian keymap).

You must not trust Menu preflet when it says you are in CTRL mode. It only compares key codes of the left command key and the right command key, and theres a bug in the keymaps (most non english). I'll fix the keymaps shortly.

Concerning the Italian keymap, i could produce the @ symbol, the problem is that ALT-GR becomes RightControl when you're in ALT mode, sure looks odd, but let's keep that for another ticket :-)

Fixed in r27086

Please revert this: with this change I can't use the standard right option key on French keyboards, ie to type the euro symbol.

Reverted in r27087 Advices welcomed :)

Can't the Menu preflet be fixed to not touch the right side of the keyboard? And then apply the patch to the keymaps with the same change.

[andreasf]

It seems like the menu checks the right-hand key to choose the displayed modifier, so messes it up for those keymaps - if that were the case, we could update it to check the left key instead and leave the keymaps as they are?

[aldeck]

Good ideas, let's hope it doesn't break something else :)
