Yes. that makes shortcuts using ALT possible, thanks (btw, ALT + h seems to be 
ignored because that is a  windowmaker shortcut set in WPrefs by default but 
GNUstep Apps disable that wmaker shortcut for their windows, to handle it on 
their own I guess.)

But one tailing question.... why does GNUstep use ALT for its shortcuts? I 
guess that many people will be confused by having to use alt+c now to copy and 
ctrl+c in other (non-gstep) apps... Of course Command could be bound to CTRL 
that will break other stuff I guess. Anyway.


Greetings and thanks,
