Re: [sc-users] GUI keycode inconsistencies?

[Sciss <contact@xxxxxxxx>]

modifiers are the same. the only difference is cocoa adds a weird  
additional ones (i think 0x100, and 0x02 ?). so if you use them  
correctly, that is, you bit-or the modifiers with the pattern  
bitmask, it works fine cross-platform.

don't do : if( modifiers == 131330, { "Shift down!".postln })

but do : if( (modifiers & 0x00020000) != 0, { "Shift down!".postln })

etc.

ciao, -sciss-
