[Seen]Mac: Goto Keyword should be Cmd-K
The documentation for the Mac shows Ctrl-K even though it is set to Cmd-K.

Do you refer to the screenshot within IDE - Editing features ?
All sreenshots were taken from Windows, so several of them don't reflect OS differences where they occure.

@Vera,
Sorry I wasn't very clear.
Yes, I was aware of the screen-shot was from Windows.
It would be nice if one from the Mac was shown for the Mac version of the Docs.
However, a note in the text below referring to the difference would help.
I don't want to make too much of this as it is of very low priority.
But as the Team are breaking all records in bug fixing, I just thought they may like another one.

Yes, that also came to my mind as quick and easy solution.davido wrote:However, a note in the text below referring to the difference would help.
If I'm allowed I'd add it in a minute
But my direct next questions were "What about all the other shortcuts from the screenshot?" and "How many other cases should and can be regarded?" ... "Where to draw the line between 'this is reasonable' and 'that is overdone'?"

You make a very sound point, as usual.Vera wrote: But my direct next questions were "What about all the other shortcuts from the screenshot?" and "How many other cases should and can be regarded?" ... "Where to draw the line between 'this is reasonable' and 'that is overdone'?"
In view of your comments, I think the only effect way would be to display the correct screenshot for OS X.

If I understand correctly, the help pictures are not in an OS specific folder meaning if OSX screenshots would be added they would end up in the Windows and Linux distribution as well.davido wrote:In view of your comments, I think the only effect way would be to display the correct screenshot for OS X.
But it can be confusing for new users to see screenshots where ctrl is mentioned while cmd is needed.
On the other hand, if OS specific screenshots would be made possible, it can be even more confusing to have some Windows screenshots and some OSX screenshots. In that it would be best if all IDE related screenshots would be replaced.

Re: Mac: Goto Keyword should be Cmd-K
Let me add some points to think about:
° the Linux-help doesn't include any IDE-screenshots, so only WIN /MAC would be concerned
° the public documentation on the webside and the pdf-version would differ still more to the included helps
° as the current screenshots already differ a bit in age and clipping optical design mixes might not be of high priority at this stage
° what about the different languages: I see 'Open' on the screenshot but my menu shows different? (Imagine we would need to care about 2_OSs * 5_languages = 10 parallel picturefolders )
I would suggest to first check all current pictures to find out how many would be concerend for real. It's likely only a small amount. These could be added into the one picture repository and then only the related image-addresses needed to be adjusted within the docs.
on a sidenote: I found it much more irritating when I started with PureBasic that a lot of the small code examples on the helppages only work on Windows.

Re: Mac: Goto Keyword should be Cmd-K
I didn't consider different languages.
After checking the current 5.31 docs some more, I see it is handled like this already
To me that's a pretty good solution already. I should have looked better

.The shortcut Ctrl+M (CMD+M on OSX) can be used to select the block of code

Re: [Seen]Mac: Goto Keyword should be Cmd-K
I don't see any keyboard shortcut in the 'Goto' description.
Or where should this be?
