[Jprogramming] Suggested modification to j602 Run menu on Mac

[Ian Clark]

For some while now I've been using my own modification to the j602 IJX
"Run' menu as it appears on the Macintosh.

It's nice to have hotkeys for Run > File and Run > File Display. But
⌘W ("Cmnd+W" -- which has to be specified as "Ctrl+W" in jwd) is
already used by MacOS to close the current window, and j602 doesn't
seem able to override this.

Instead I hack the base library to use "Ctrl+Shift+W" for Run >
Window, and "Ctrl+Alt+W" for Run > Window Display. The hack is:

1. open '~system/extras/util/jijs.ijs'

2. Alter the definition of noun JIJSMAC as follows, replacing:
menu runwindow "&Window (Ctrl+W)" "" "" "";
menu runwindowd "Window &Display (Ctrl+Shift+W)" "" "" "";
	--with:
menu runwindow "&Window" "Ctrl+Alt+W" "" "";
menu runwindowd "Window &Display" "Ctrl+Shift+W" "" "";
	(you can copy-paste these 2 lines.)

This hack regresses each time pacman upgrades the Base Library, and I
have to re-fix it. But I don't want to unilaterally alter svn unless
other Mac users are happy with this. (Not to say the vendors.)

If you have a Mac could you please try it out and see if you like it?
