OSX,Mac modifier key symbols;in the help text line.

[tkbd]

I have been using the new Wings3D 2.0.3,found the part which is not a little bit comfortable.
[⌥]+R:Open Tweak Menu
I interrupted my work, looked for help.


It is necessary in using on OSX that add checkbox for switching between these conventions on Wings3D Preferences Dialog.
Then,Please add the option setting for display the key name.
Just want to add optional usability.

[v]Use key symbol for modifier keys(OSX).

For example the table of symbol and name.
key symbol : key name
⌘ : ⌘
⌥ : Alt
⌃ : CTRL
⇧ : Shift
⇥ : Tab
⌤ : Enter
⎋ : ESC
Note: It is except the command key(⌘)

Why this is so?
Reason:1
They are not stamped on the recent Mac of the keytop. So users are confused.
They are easy to understand if it is written in the words.
For example, ⎋ is the symbol of ESC key,it will be mistaken for a power button.
This time,Control key symbol is "^". Can you associate the name of the key with this symbol?
Such confusion will often interfere with the user's thinking.

For keyboad symbol of mac;It has also been mentioned in the following sites.
There were people who feel the same way with me.

what-is-this-symbol-it-is-listed-as-menu-shortcut(StackExchange)

mac_keyboard_symbols(nedbatchelder.com)

what-do-the-mac-shortcut-symbols-mean(Tech-recipes)

Reason:2
Use the Wings3D the same way in all of the OS.
Some people are using both Windows and Mac.

Reason:3
Burden of manuals and documents increases. It takes time and effort to or search for the symbol or description.
It is an ardent desire.

Reasons why I changed it:
1) The shortcuts in window menus at the top are automatic by the OSX so we can not change that.
Thus, it is confusing to mix signs in one place and key-names in other places, it is better to be consistent.

2-3) There are not the same since Mac have the command key where Ctrl is used on the
other OS's so they differ anyway.

All right.
UI font of Wings was not able to affect the menu bar.
The issue is out of the reach of us,isn't it?
Certainly also in other software for OSX,they are adopt the same way.

----

As you say, there is a difference of ctrl key and the command key.
But this time, will symbol(icon) add the list.

IMHO,I believe that the icon and the name for itself should be compatible.
Symbol only, Symbol and Name, Name only these relation of recognition are important.
I can learn to associate the icon with the function.
So I wanted to display the name of the modifier key.
(I'm sorry to write that difficult thing....)

----

After all,This is a defect in the product of the keyboard design.
So,I would add modifier-symbol-marks on my keytop.
It would get the relation of recognition and Probalby solves all.

Thanks.
