Right Click Context Menu in Mac

[das329717]

Hi,

How does a Mac user access the right click context menu (i.e. for loading a torrent from the extsearch plugin, or for removing a torrent from the main list in the UI).

I'm assuming this mac user has one mouse button, they have tried Ctrl-click.

Thanks for any help, I didn't see any other topics about this.

If you have touch-pad then you can set second mouse button to two finger tap, else I have no idea

on a mac you right click by either using 2 finger tab or command + click

Command+Click doesn't seem to work in the rutorrent ui.. The two-finger tap works, but only if the user has a trackpad. Any ideas how to make command+click work?

that's interesting.....cmd+click should work...but it doesn't work on my hackintosh.

I'm not sure what's up with that.

Beacuse cmd+click on mac == ctrl+click on athers

right but mac has only one mouse button, and right click on a mac is SUPPOSED to be cmd+click.

Is there a way to fix this for out max users? I use mac myself but mine has multitouch. Fior those without multitouch this could be a serious issue.

We fixed it by changing any if statement that said

if((e.button == 2)

to

if(e.button==2 || (e.which == 1 && e.metaKey == true))

in webui.js and the init.js of the extsearch plugin

webui.js: lines 439, 783, 889, 1061, 1162, 1615, 1639, 2047, 2071

extsearch/init.js: lines 412, 557

do those settings still work as expected for windows as well? if so i don't see why we shouldn't apply the change throughout

 

[das329717]

doesn't affect how it works on windows, it just says if the user right clicks or does "command+click"

Yes. But in this case combination Ctrl+Click (used for row selection) will be unavailable for its. With multitouch and without it.

 

[dsouvik215]

yah, that's no solution....I'd rather leave it at is....my multitouch mac works fine.

 

[das329717]

I just changed the multi-select rows to Alt-Click instead of Ctrl-Click, not as intuitive, but it allows Mac users with a one button mouse to use rutorrent

So, there is no real solution for this?
One of my colleagues uses a Mac (Desktop, so no touch pad) and right click is not working.
