[FIXED] MacOSX UI issue (ctrl vs cmd)

[Kunda1]

In issue #2739 the OP states

While editing a sketch, the Elements box says to Ctrl-click to select multiple elements, but it should say Command-click.

Can someone on OSX confirm this?
IMO, if this issue exists probably a good idea to get it fixed before 0.17

Confirmed: It should say Command-Click. (FreeCAD behaves as expected by Mac Users).

Sorry @chrisb i didn't quite understand. You wrote 'it should say' and then you wrote 'FreeCAD behaves as expected'. So I'm a little confused.

Also Confirmed.
but as chrisb said, it should say "cmd" as "cmd" is always the key used on OS X. (copy/paste is "cmd + c"/ "cmd+v") so the question is, is this possible to have different informations according to the OS

Oh OK, got it. Hopefully a dev could weigh in on this. I'm not sure if changing ctrl to cmd would have impact on macros or other esoteric inner-workings of FC.

When looking at a menu on osx then it doesn't use "cmd" in a shortcut but uses this special symbol (looks like a motorway junction). http://doc.qt.io/qt-4.8/qmenu.html#details

So, would cmd fit or would it be better to use the symbol. The former one is trivial to do but for the latter I don't know if there is a way to get this symbol.

The Command key (⌘), also historically known as the Apple key, clover key, open-Apple key, splat key, pretzel key, or propeller key

It makes sense to use it instead of 'cmd' for OSX users
