Hi :)
That's nice but i think it's a good idea to keep the note about right-click.
It
might be good to expand on that little table if possible. Perhaps adding the
info about how to redefine the new right-click is worth adding to that note?
Regards from
Tom :)

Yes, definitely on the list for those chapters and books that don't
already have that info. Thanks for the reminder.

Just remember that the newer Mac's do actually have a right-click and so
does the Mac Magic mouse. The default is just set to the same one as the
left. They just need to change the "secondary click" in System
Preferences to right from left. Then it is almost the same as other
systems with what it does.
Thanks, Ian! I didn't know that. The Mac I'm (occasionally) using isn't
new, and anyway I use a Microsoft mouse on it because switching mouse
types between the Windows, Linux, and Mac computers drives me nuts...
and the MS mouse gives me the right-click capability.

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 :)
Hi
That's what I meant. I use a PC at work and if some of them had words on
them rather than arrow symbols it would make it easier to remember the
names!.
I did think you personally was updating the table. Just that I was
trying to improve on the current version and when I might have it done by.
Regards
Ian
