Hello Mac Leo User,

Please how to clone a node via keyboard?
It should be Ctrl-` , but I tried Command-` , Control-`, Option-`, no  one works...

Also, Alt-x on my key board doesn't work too..

Maybe not the best way, but what I do on my Mac is:

Shift-Command-C (copy node)
Option-x (mini-buffer) paste-retaining-clones

HTH

Shift-Command-C doesn't work in my Mac.
Shift-Command-X copy one node
Shift-Command-V paste one node ( not clone)

If the body editor control is focused, 
Option-x will put one capitalized X.

If the log panel is focused,
Option-x will put meta-x

Looks like in my Mac, the Command button is Ctrl.
Command-u/d/r/l/i all works.

However, Command-` doesn't.  I redefined clone in myLeoSettings.leo to Crtl-\  for now.

Another question is, which key is Alt key?
Tried Option-- and Option-] with no luck..

There are known problems with Apple keyboards, and MacOS generally.  In particular, MacOS grabs certain keys on a system-wide basis.  It is (usually) possible to delete this intrusive bindings with MacOS settings. However, there is a bug in the settings panel that (I think) makes it impossible to reassign Ctrl-H.

I am not at my Mac just now.  I'll say more later when I can look at my copy of myLeoSettings.leo on MacOS.

Option key works for me as Alt key. However, I only use a MacBook Pro which, perhaps has a different keyboard than a desktop Mac (don't know since I don't have one).

I am using Mackbook pro too. MacOS Majave 10.14.6

I press Option=x, on Body Panel, it produced on capitalized X.
on Log Panel, it produced a string "meta+x".

In any cases, focus was not changed to minibuffer.
