CTRL Click should be Command Click on OSX - Brings up Context Menu


Posted on Jan 29, 2013 by Swift Bird

Attempt to do a multi-select for example. Each time you use ctrl-click, a context menu pops up. This context menu gets in the way of additional selections. This is mac os, system wide.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I expect to be able to multi-select things using command. In general, the mac os version of pencil would be well served by mapping ctrl->command as this is the convention. Instead of thinking about it as control, it's better to think of these two buttons as "primary modifier key" or something along those lines (it's the same story with alt/meta-key on unix).

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? 2.0.3, OSX 10.7.5

Wanted to clarify: "multi-select things using command" - command key. The squiggly clover leaf looking thing for non-mac users.

The system-wide comment: My first workaround was to simply disable ctrl-click context menus for pencils sake. Now ideally, I shouldn't have to do this but I really like everything else about the app so I'll live with that one ;) Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to be possible.
