Hmmm, right now ALT works for me /only/ in FireFox (my usual test browser, meaning I neglected to test elsewhere).

For kids I will eventually have a row of the half-dozen keys they'll need, maybe even a full keypad (already executed in the desktop version). Each key will show its keyboard equiv as a tool-tip so they can eventually learn them. kt -- http://www.stuckonalgebra.com "The best Algebra tutorial program I have seen... in a class by itself."

Investigating... Ah, I seem not to have read this until just now: http://qooxdoo.org/documentation/0.7/keyboard_events A little experimentation suggests a fix will be manageable.Not sure how I missed it in testing, other than that I do not like testing.

The "Typing Tutorial" tab offers other insights. -- http://www.stuckonalgebra.com "The best Algebra tutorial program I have seen... in a class by itself." Macworld

Thx for > the report. Not so manageable, since Apple decided to put an alt key on its keyboard but not support it. True genius. Anyway, the alt-key combos are gone and a mini math keypad lets one get at weird characters. Not a perfect solution, just portable. Well, too tired to test much: http://teamalgebra.com/ Time for logins so we can do missions and record user progress. kt -- http://www.stuckonalgebra.com "The best Algebra tutorial program I have seen... in a class by itself."
