Command-Option-D

Hello out there,

In our application we have Command-Option-D assigned to a menu
command. In Mac OS 10.1, our application didn't receive command key
events that the OS had pre-assigned (such as this and others -
command-h or -m). Then in 10.1.5 and 10.2 we were receiving these
events, now in 10.3 we are no longer receiving these events again.

Does anyone know why this is happening or is there an API to check if
these are pre-assigned by the OS and not available to us?

Thanks in advance,
Lyndsey

There is no API for this, since it's all supposed to be transparent for
you. If it isn't, please file a bug report at
<http://bugreport.apple.com/>.

In this particular case, it definitely sounds like a bug. Menu
shortcuts defined in your application's menus should override those
defined in system-owned menus. You might want to post a note about the
behavior you're seeing to the carbon-development mailing list, since the
engineer who owns the Menu Manager reads the list.
