Re: Keyboard in XyScript



Carl, here's another peculiarity using xyscript-dvorak.kbd on MacOS Tahoe. In the kbd file, the keybinding assignment looksserif;font-size:large">
shift '         :16="

which seems proper.

When I press shift-'  I get: error unknown command "/""

Something wonky going on for sure.
