Pressing = doesn't activate the Calculator Action

[philostein]

10.6.7, ß59 from QSApp.com, Japanese keyboard set to U.S. keyboard, usually Romaji input selected.

In Romaji (as with U.S.) the = key is next to 0 (zero) and requires a ⇧ press.
Pressing = in pane 1, when pane 1 is in Object mode, does nothing. Pressing it in text mode types =.

If the input is British, the = key is one key to the right and no longer requires a ⇧ press.
Pressing = in pane 1's Object mode switches QS to text mode and types =. Pressing it in text mode types =.

The Calculator Action never appears with =. It works fine when selected in Pane 2. Paste with Clipboard is my default text Action.
I have a Calculator plugin in ~/Library/Application Support/quicksilver/PlugIns/
I installed the latest one from QSApp.com earlier today.

@philostein: Can you provide more insight here? How does Romaji input work? I ask because I have a German keyboard where you have to press ⇧-0 to get the = and that works fine with β60.

Thanks fheckl.

With U.S. selected as the keyboard input, pressing = (⇧- next to 0) just finds Catalog entries containing =.

Romaji input seems to be the same as U.S. and returns the same characters.

I tried British, and pressing ^ (2 keys to the right of 0) puts QS into text mode, which contains a = character.

However, I recently resolved an issue where certain programs (Twitter and 1Password) wouldn't accept alphabet characters for keyboard shortcuts. When I switched from Romaji to U.S., the programs then accepted alphabet characters. This may be unrelated to the Calculator issue, but it seems the System registers some difference between different input methods, even when returning the same characters.

I'm not actually sure what pressing = is supposed to do, as I've never seen the correct result!

That's what's supposed to happen, plus the CalculatorAction sitting in the second pane

I get whatever the Action already was in pane 2.

@philostein does this work for you now or is it still broken?

[philostein]

In British, pressing '=' enters text mode, types '=', and allows me to type '=4*3' to see '12' in pane 1 and 'Paste' (my default text action) in pane 2.

In US or Romaji, which follows the layout of my kana keyboard, pressing '=' searches the Catalog for '='.

Fixed with 096b4a1

Finally, non-QWERTY keyboards can use the default QS shortcuts :)

Yay!
