I did some changes – please try now. Can’t guarantee when I can’t test on a Mac though :/

Macs have have 4 (or 5) modifier keys:

– Escape
– Option (is used much in the same way as Alt on windows keyboards and kan also emulate Meta-key in terminals)
– Command (the most frequently used modifier key, acts much in the same way as ctrl in Windows)
– Shift (same as Windows)
– Ctrl (ctrl + click always result in a right-click. This is intended as earlier mac mice only had one button. The ctrl key can still be used in combination with other keys for keyboard shortcuts)

I would guess it would be best to give the command key the same functionality as the control key has in windows since this would be the expected behavior for most mac users. Alternatively the option key should be used.

Thanks, Ståle! About the alternative key: Any direct suggestion about how to do it? Are there any keys that work on a Mac along with the mouse, or how do you usually do stuff in applications on a Mac?

Thanks for all your amazing tools, Jan. My vote would go to SPAS.

But even more than SPAS, I would like an alternative key for adding and removing controls in 2DRerun. The ctrl key is mapped to right click on all macs, and there doesn’t seem to be any method for emulating a ctrl + left click.
