I bought the Apple Magic Track Pad when it first came out and didn't use it terribly much as I was using an old version of Pro Tools under OS 9 at the time. Having since switched over to Pro Tools 11 full time, I've experimented with the Track Pad as I know some others on the list have as well. For anybody who wants to easily perform modified clicks in Pro Tools to solo safe, record all, show or hide all with ease, I'd highly recommend it. One recommendation would be to turn off everything in the Track Pad panel of System Preferences except for the very first checkbox labeled "Tap to Click." If you set the mouse pointer to follow the VoiceOver cursor, simply holding down the modifier and tapping the Track Pad anywhere will perform the modified click. Further, pop-up lists behave normally with the modified behavior. Of course, laptop users with track pads already have this functionality but anybody with a Mac Mini or iMac, etc. would benefit from the Magic Track Pad. A mouse could possibly work OK but one risks the possibility of moving the mouse pointer before performing the click. The Track Pad won't have this issue unless one touches the pad elsewhere and moves it. I find that its form factor is practically fool-proof.
Just a thought for those without a surface to easily work with modified clicks. Slau -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Pro Tools Accessibility" group.
