Joy of multi-platform development

 

Eeschema uses accelerator key BkSp (exactly Alt+BkSp) in view menu
(View/Leave Sheet).

This accelerator works fine on Windows, and generates a warning on Linux
(and is not shown in menu)

Reason:
On Linux (GTK?) the accelerator key BkSp, when used in menus must be
coded as "\t\b" and not "\tBkSp" (and the Alt+BkSp accelerator is \tAlt+\b)
(\b is the ASCII code of Back Space key).
However, On Windows, Alt+BkSp accelerator must be "\tAlt+BkSp".

I just fixed this minor issue in commit 78ab5c3f07
Can someone test this commit on OSX and see if "\tAlt+BkSp" is working?
Thanks.
