It also works on the trackpad as well Jean.
Tom,
If you are going to update the table relating to Mac commands be aware
that the Mac Books and some of the other Apple keyboards have fewer keys
than other PC brands. They use the fn key with them. For example the
"delete" key deletes from right to left-- the "fn + delete" from left to
right. Some of the ones in the existing list give different results to
what is shown.
I am in the process of trying to find time to create a bit better intro
list (guide) for the Mac users. I may have got it done by the time the
3.5 documentation is being done.
Ian
Hi :)
I wasn't going to update the table. I last used a mac about 15 years ago so i
am a 'little' hazy about it. You know on a PC keyboard the delete above the
enter key is sometimes called a "backspace" key to distinguish it from the
"Del"
key? I take it the Mac delete key is a backspace key?
Regards from
Tom :)
