Inconsistent shortcuts

Kinda of a stretch to call this a bug, but here it is:

In 3.0 on mac, you guys changed all shortcuts, like uploading went from Command+U to Option+U.

I sort of got used to it but 3.0.1 reverted to Command+U, which is what you’d expect on mac.

However all other shortcuts still use Option, which makes things a bit confusing.
IMO it would be preferable that all mac shortcuts remain consistent, as it was the case before 3.0.

Like this:

Show console: Command + Y
Show Lua Memory: Command + M
Show Malloc Log: Command + L
Show Sampler: Command + S (This is usually save, but since theres’s no save, might be fine?)
Show Device Info: Command + D

Not a big deal, but might be cleaner?

I didn't see this thread before posting but I similarly would prefer to revert to the previous shortcuts. MacOS interface guidelines suggest that cmd-X / cmd-option-X / cmd-shift-X should be preferred over option-X / ctrl-X where feasible.

In Playdate SDK 3.0.1, the Mac simulator is once again using ⌘ as the shortcut modifier, and not Option.

No. I listed all the ones still using Option in my original post. To my knowledge only Upload to device was reverted to using Command. Pretty much every other command still uses Option.

You are correct! My apologies. Barring some issue that I am currently unaware of, this will get fixed! Thank you for pointing it out.

Thank you very much! :smiley:
