Annoying so far, but I am slowly working around/adjusting them. The switching to "Use Mac Driver instead of X11" freed up Command-1 which is being mapped to Alt-1. It also apparently enabled accessibility UI APIs because I can move the window around now with Moom - which is key for me.
The biggest problem I am seeing is blurry outline text because of my Retina display. It looks fine if I run at native 2880, but everything is just too small on the Mac side. That typical for many apps, though Parallels was getting better. I'm very annoyed at Apple for the mess they made with the Retina display. They brag about a 2880 display and then default to 1440 which is smaller than my previous MacBook Pro. If I switch to a real 2880 then all the system fonts are unreadable. Argh. They really need to support a "variable DPI" like Windows. d On Sunday, May 12, 2013 1:41:36 PM UTC-7, Mark Levison wrote: > > David how are shortcuts working out? > > That and consuming allot of CPU when disconnected from the net are what > killed it on vanilla Wine. > > Cheers > Mark > On May 12, 2013 4:05 PM, "David Rees" <[email protected] <javascript:>> > wrote: > >> I'm not allowed to run Windows in my new work environment so that means >> no Parallels/VMWare/VMBox.
