MacOS 'paste' into ofxInputField not recognised

Hi,

I’ve added an ofxInputField<std::string> to an ofxGui. It works except when trying to copy/paste text values from the field.

I’m running of_v0.11.2_osx_release on an M1 Macbook Pro MacOS v11.6 latest update.

I set a breakpoint in ofxInputField.keyPressed to debug.

I notice two oddities:

• we test for OF_KEY_CONTROL rather than the more MacOS-native OF_KEY_COMMAND for the paste action (and other command actions)
• when the code runs after pressing “Ctrl-V” (not Command-V), it seems that key == 'V' rather than the ‘v’ that is looked for in the code

The result is that the normal “command-key” actions are not recognised in keyPressed and fail to work.

When I replace OF_KEY_CONTROL with OF_KEY_COMMAND inside keyPressed, the normal actions work fine.

Is this a peculiarity of my setup (vanilla except for running an M1 machine), or a deliberate decision that doesn’t match my expectation, or an oversight that might require a platform-specific change to use OF_KEY_COMMAND instead of OF_KEY_CONTROL when building for MacOS.

Thanks,
Steve
