Hi,
I removed the lines
Item[KeyEvent[Left, Modifiers -> {Control},
CellClass -> BoxFormData], "NudgeLeft"],
Item[KeyEvent[Right, Modifiers -> {Control},
CellClass -> BoxFormData], "NudgeRight"],
from my personal keyboard configuration file for Mathematica 4
under LINUX. Then I replaced
Item[KeyEvent[Right, Modifiers -> {Option}], "MoveNextWord"],
Item[KeyEvent[Left, Modifiers -> {Option}], "MovePreviousWord"],
with
Item[KeyEvent[Right, Modifiers->{Control}], "MoveNextWord"],
Item[KeyEvent[Left, Modifiers->{Control}], "MovePreviousWord"],
However when I press these keys (for example in a text cell) the
cursor only flickers a little bit and nothing happens. Using the
option "-pureKeys", running X without a window manager (which might
intercept these keyboard events) or even removing the global
keyboard configuration file does not help.
Am I doing something wrong (I successfully created several other key
combinations in the same way) or is this a bug in Mathematica?
TIA,
Felix
