Because of the Text -> Convert -> to Titlecase key binding (option+u), I can no longer (easily) insert characters with umlauts (ü, ï, etc.).
Is there a workaround/clever solution/cunning plan to deal with this?

You a keymap with dead-keys for ¨ ^ ´ ` and the like? ;-). That's how the danish one is layed out, but then again we don't need accented glyphs _that_ often.

I've been using Menu Master, which lets you assign/delete/edit menu shortcuts right in the menu. It functionally overlaps the Apple Keyboard syspref capabilities, but is a lot more elegant.

even though a little OT, I wanted to use this thread to put in another *nudge* for you Allan to list any not-listed navigational key-commands in the Navigation menu. This came up originally when I was asking for a key command to switch between file drawer and edit panel but it already existed and I just didn't know it (^ tab). Now.... after experimenting I have been using cmd+opt-W to center the carret on the screen, but --doh-- this is actually just toggling soft wrap on and off with a nice side effect of centering the carret. Is there a command to *just* center the carret on the screen?
While I'm at it :) opt+down/up-arrow is excellent for hopping around code blocks but it seems to be a bit buggy in my PHP classes. For instance, when inside a function def it hops around nicely from control structure to structure but when outside a function block it will just send me to the bottom of the class. In general it seems a little erratic so I thought I would mention it in case you want some code samples to see for yourself.
thx, k

Control-tab is sort of a standard system key to leave edit controls that normally use tab for themselves. E.g. it also works in Mail.app's text editor to go to the To text field.
I'm reluctant to list these “standard” keys, because there is a lot of them, and technically I can't know exactly which keys these system actions are actually bound to.
What I could do was to add a section to my help book about some of the more useful systme keys (e.g. also the “switch window” key).

Command-J. It's in Edit / Find and called “Jump to Selection”.

That's because it's not intended for this :)
What it does is move a column up/down and is intended to be used when you want to do a column selection (together with shift).
For example if you have a text like:
hest ged får
ræv and kat
And your caret is somewhere in the word “hest”, you can use option-down to move down to “får”, option-down again to move to “ko” etc.

I think Option and Option+Shift (without another modifier) shouldn't be used at all for shortcuts.
Here are some characters, needing those combos, that I use often:
Option: { } $
Option + Shift: [ ] \ |
You'll agree that they can be useful when coding. ;)

I switched to US key map a few months ago, really really recommended (for coding) :)
But yes, I'll remove these option modifiers.
According to Allan Odgaard:

I do more than coding and you'll pry my french AZERTY keyboard from my dead cold fingers... :-)
And if you are on a US keyboard, then Option becomes even more important because even very common diacritics need it (for French anyway).
But yes, I'll remove these option modifiers.
Thanks.

Maybe it's easier with other languages but using a US KB to write french is really hard, as there is not direct access to "éèêàçù", etc. Plus I'm used to AZERTY since 1984. A nit long to change now ...
And even if I used an US KB, I would need Option even more, for all the accents. ;)
But yes, I'll remove these option modifiers.
Thanks.

Yeah, Danish vs. US doesn't mess with the letters, i.e. both are QWERTY.. I can see it's a bigger problem with french, but I don't like the US map too much either :-p.

You can change the default key bindings (see Help / Key bindings).
Though I've been wanting to remove all the key bindings which contain option. Most likely I'll have it done for beta 6 ;)
