Re: Option key
Authored by: tim1724 on Apr 22, '03 02:26:08PM

The menu items don't change in Camino or Terminal because those are Cocoa programs and unfortunately Apple hasn't yet added cool features such as the dynamic menu item changing to Cocoa yet. (It's possible to get at these features in Cocoa by using an undocumented way of getting at the Carbon menu, but it's not a safe thing to do so you won't see many Cocoa programs doing it.)

Hopefully Apple will add cool stuff like this to Cocoa in 10.3 (they've said that eventually everything will work in both environments, but in Jaguar there are still a lot of things which are Cocoa-only or Carbon-only)
