 years ago, which suggested that it was possible to get it working.
 Interested in more recent experience.

Hello Shaig,

The insert and alt-insert shortcuts are actually hotkeys, which can be 
reassigned under the Tools-Options menu selection.  Does this hotkey 
assignment list not work when you're using it on a Mac?

[MLO] Re: Running MLO Desktop on Mac OSX

[shaig]

Hey guys,
I'm trying to set up MLO on a mac and figured I'd bump up this post instead 
of making a new one.
I got MLO working (with WineBottler, on El Capitan) but I can't find a way 
to get any keys on the mac keyboard to behave like the windows insert key 
on MLO. And I make very heavy use of the insert and alt-insert shortcuts.

Any solution to this? Either a way to change the key binding or a way to 
send "insert" to MLO is great.

Thanks!

The simplest solution I've come up with is running it on a VM using 
VirtualBox. I have a simple lightweight Win7 install that does nothing but 
run MLO. In seamless mode it's pretty nice.

Couple questions for you: 
How's this running for you since your last update? 
Why the need for the IE7 bit?

[MLO] Re: Running MLO Desktop on Mac OSX

[Steve.S]

Update on current experience using MLO on OSX 10.10 under Wine on a MacBook 
Air (early 2015). Using the instructions in the forum as far back as 2010, 
I have MLO 4.3.3 running under both CrossOver and WineSkin. I've finally 
settled on WineSkin as my preferred choice. 

MLO works fine under CrossOver 14.1.6. I had to add IE7 to the bottle. All 
works fine including cloud sync. My only gripe is that display fonts are 
not quite right, with the kerning being too tight and making the text hard 
to read. Tried many combinations of Display DPI and fonts and finally 
settled on one which made it readable, but was not great. 

My preference is WineSkin Winery 2.6.0 with WS9Wine1.7.51. Added msxml3 and 
msxml4 and IE7 using WineTricks from the Advanced/Utils dialog. Fonts and 
readability are fine out of the box. Just increased the default font size 
in MLO/Options from the default. CloudSync is a little slow, but works 
fine. WineSkin is not quite as slick as CrossOver in that there are several 
processes running in the background with aggregations of MLO and Wine in 
their titles, but for saving £40 its a minor irritation.
