[sc-users] leopard ?

[Ryan Brown]

There is now a system-wide shortcut for apple-? that opens up the new  
per-application help menu in Leopard. You can see a screen shot of it  
here:

This shortcut can be changed in the Keyboard and Mouse system  
preferences pane, but the default is set to apple-?. This means that  
when you use apple-? rather than getting help for the currently  
selected class the help menu opens up and focuses on the search field.

So the options are:
1- Leave it as apple-?, have users change the system-wide setting if  
they want to use it.
2- Change it. Apple-I (for info) is unused and seems sensible.
3- Use a hack to keep it the same. I have a hack that works but the  
menu item doesn't flash like most key-commands do. I can probably do  
something to add the flash (although it may involve private APIs).

I vote for changing the shortcut.
