           Summary: Notepad: cursor key issues on MacOSX
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.1.29
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.5
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: programs
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
        ReportedBy: hoehle at users.sourceforge.net


The keyboard mapping is weird or something else is broken:
- Shift Right does not select&highlight one character to the right of the
cursor. Instead, a strange asterisk appears.
- Shift Left replaces the character to the left with a plus sign.
- Shift Down moves one line down, marks the text in between (like Shift Down on
Linux), deletes it, in effect joining with the part of the following line
starting with the current column.
- Shift Up does something similar upwards but additionally inserts a /.

+ Control keys work (print menu, save, undo etc.)
+ Umlauts work
+ F5 (insert date and time) works. You may need to press fn-F5, depending on
your System Preferences.

The xev programs reveals that all keycodes are different than on a
Linux laptop, but the keysyms are the same.

FYI, xev also shows that X11.app maps the command key to alt (aka. Meta_L/R)!
I find this unfortunate, as Cmd-xyz will conflict with X11.app's own menus.

I'm using the German locale and Apple keyboard.
