Command-C on Mac ChimeraX 1.9 does not copy selected text

[goddard@…]

The following bug report has been submitted:
Platform:        macOS-14.6.1-arm64-arm-64bit
ChimeraX Version: 1.9.dev202411121724 (2024-11-12 17:24:24 UTC)
Description
Command-C does not allow copying text from the log.  This used to work in ChimeraX 1.8.  As soon as the Command key is pressed the focus switches to the command-line.  Probably pressing Command should not trigger the change in focus.

[Tom Goddard]

On Windows Ctrl-C to copy selected text in the log works in the release candidate. It seems that Qt 6.7 probably change on Mac only to give key events for modifier keys. The QKeyEvent that our ToolWindow._forward_keystroke() gets when Command is pressed has event.key() = 0. It has this same value for other modifier keys too, Ctrl, Shift. The event.modifiers() = ControlModifier when Command pressed on Mac.

Because we are just about to make the 1.9 release my plan is to make a very narrow change to the _forward_keystroke() code and only avoid forwarding on Mac, with key() == 0 and modifiers() == ControlModifier.

[Tom Goddard]

Fixed in 1.9.

Made keystroke forwarding ignore lone Command key press on Mac.
