[9fans] drawterm and macbook touchpad

[Fernan Bolando]

Hi all

I have recently switch to a macbook. I used to be very comfortable
using an ibm touchpad+keyboard to emulate middle clicks and right
clicks.

for the mac the documentation says ctrl+click is equal to right click
and option+click is middle click. It works fine using them with acme,
but I cant seem to make a new window in rio?

Does this work for anyone else using a macbook?

You've got to hold the right click for the menu and window creation.
Its a bit tricky with trackpad + keyboard, best to invest in at least
a 2 button mouse if not a three button.  The new chording support for
the magic mouse/trackpads might help, but I haven't tried it yet on my
macbook pro.

for right click, you want command+click, not control+click. works here,
and is the same in 9vx. You can fake a 1+2 or 1+3 sweep by sweeping
without any modifiers and then tapping option or command. the 1+[2,3]
copy method works fine too. i don't believe you can emulate the 2+1
chord using a one-button mouse.

like eric said, though, you'll do better with a real three-button mouse.

Yup command-click works. I need to get used to the way mac handles shortcuts.

Yup I am looking for new mouse for sometime now and been using the
trackpad temporarily
thanks for the help.
