Re: [9fans] plan9port on osx
since commit 9af9ceca, the metal backend has (undocumented), Allow touch events to simulate mouse clicks: three finger tap for the middle mouse button; four finger tap for the 2-1 chord. In addition Ctrl/Alt/Cmd works as 1/2/3 button, so you can invoke 2-1 chord by pressing Alt and then Ctrl with your left thumb, while right thumb pressed on the trackpad. > On Nov 8, 2019, at 10:21 AM, James A.

Re: [9fans] plan9port on osx
I am running plan9port on my mac. I used to use acme with the https://codereview.appspot.com/6115053 patch for the trackpad on my laptop, but at some point that stopped working. I didn't care to dig into it at the time and switched to using the Alt/Cmd button modifiers. Currently since I'm not traveling much I'm using the Evoluent VM4RB VerticalMouse, which has 3+ buttons.

I use plan9port on MacOS at work daily (acme is my IDE). I have a use a Logitech trackball, which has three buttons. I'm not sure where my magic mouse landed after I though it. ; man 1 acme ``Simulated buttons For systems without a three-button mouse, the keyboard modi- fier keys can be used to modify the effect of the main mouse button. On Unix systems, the Control key changes the main button to button 2, and the Alt key changes it to button 3. On Mac systems, the Option key changes the main button to button 2, and the Command key changes it to button 3. Pressing the key after the button is held down adds the but- ton to form a chord, so that for example on Macs selecting text with the trackpad button and then typing Option without letting go of the button will cause a 1-2 chord, cutting the selection. On Mac systems, the usual keyboard shortcuts Command-C, -V, -X, and -Z invoke copy, paste, cut, and undo, and Command-Shift-Z invokes redo, as in other programs. Especially on Mac laptops, these keyboard shortcuts are typ- ically much less awkward than the equivalent chords. '' Should be helpful. I use that quite a bit, simply because using the additional buttons seems to be along with the rest of the MacOS apps I have to use.

[9fans] plan9port on osx
