In 3.02, all MacOS simulator shortcuts reverted back to PCs shorctuts

[StephanRewind (Stephan Belin)]

So, it seems like we went backwards with Mac OS shorcuts.

The change log says:

• Simulator: Changed some keyboard shortcuts to better match prior macOS Simulator/use platform modifier key

But in fact all shortcuts now use Option instead of Command.

So:

Device is Option+D instead of Command+D
Show Lua Memory is Opion+M instead of Command+M

It’s the same for all shortcuts. The only right one is Upload to device Command+U

Any chance we go back to the correct macOS shortcuts?

Thanks

See:

Simulator 3.0.x on macOS - Keyboard Shortcuts, Crank units, Ctrl-c

Behavior of Simulator on macOS changed in SDK v3.0.0. It would be great if the old keyboard shortcuts and behaviors could be restored. This was noted in the Changelog: Simulator: Unified macOS Simulator with Windows and Linux. As a result some things will be slightly different Specifically here's what I've noticed. I launch the simulator via the command line: "$PLAYDATE_SDK_PATH/bin/Playdate Simulator.app/Contents/MacOS/Playdate Simulator" whatever.pdx With <= 2.7.6 I can use ctrl-c…

Wondering if anyone got the time to look into this?

We have no plans to change them further. Window shortcuts use option instead of command. Most window menu options in the old Simulator didn’t have a shortcut at all so we standardized on option for all windows while other menu items use the command key.

Oh thats ok, not a big deal. Us mac users don’t like getting the feeling of working on a PC lol.

How about the animated gifs always copied over when uploading the build even when they haven’t changed? I believe that you told me you filed it as a bug?

The animated gif issue is a pdc issue (it is recompiling them unnecessarily), not a Simulator issue. It has been logged but no ETA on a fix at this point.
