Defining keyboard shortcuts for OS X?

Installation & Configuration Mac OS X
#1

Hi all,

how do you define the option and apple keys under os x for use in ardour - what text needs to be input into the ardour.rc file?

#2
  1. start up a terminal (from Applications/Utilities)
  2. cd to /usr/X11R6/bin
  3. run ./xev
  4. report back here on the info displayed when you press the option and apple keys
