Mac OSX Specific Issues / Re: Right click in OSX

Yes, I understand that, and I reckon that the port to Mac is very well done - this is the only Mac-specific problem that I've noticed. Incidentally (as someone else has pointed out in the forums), my fix does not work for Shortcut labels, so I have yet to find a way to create or modify them. Any ideas?

I'm wasn't attacking anybody - I was just making a suggestion to improve the game for one section of its players. What else is this forum for?

My point is that it shouldn't be necessary to figure anything out at all - there's quite enough figuring out to do in the game as it is.

Mac OSX Specific Issues / Right click in OSX
« on: October 02, 2006, 04:24:07 am »
Hi,
I think that the right-click issue with single-button Mac mice needs more attention. Even as an experienced Mac user, it took me a couple of hours to pick my way through manuals, forum postings and so on to arrive at a solution (below). For newcomers to PS (and perhaps to Macs as well), this is an unneccessary and frustrating obstacle to getting started, as you cannot begin to interact with objects or NPCs without contextual menus. To my mind, telling people to get a two-button mouse is not helpful - everything else in the Mac world works with a single mouse button and always has.
I suggest that:
1. Future Mac versions of the application should automatically recognize Ctrl+Left click as being equivalent to Right click in all circumstances, as is the case with all well-behaved Mac applications.
2. In the meantime, I suggest a sticky in this forum that deals specifically with the issue, so that new users are discomfited as little as possible.
In case it helps anyone , my solution was:
1. Open Options
2. Select Controls > Mouse
3. In the line Selection > ContextMenu, perform a Ctrl+Left click on the "set" button
4. Click Save.
Now you can talk to Harnquist
