[Freeciv-Dev] Re: (PR#13544) win32/gtk2: ctrl-right-mouse == right-mouse

There are two environments to consider on Mac OS X: native or X11.

In the native-land, there is left-click, and then there is ctrl- 
click, a.k.a. right-click.  There is no middle-click.  But this isn't  
relevant, as my Freeciv packages run within the X11 environment.

On my Mac system, I have 3+ button mouse with the middle button  
programmed (via the mouse driver), well, as the middle-button.  All  
three buttons work as expected within Freeciv.

However, there is also an option within X11 to emulate a three-button  
mouse.  When activated, it behaves as follows:

- Left-click (or click on single-button mice).  This is self- 
explanatory.
- Option-click = middle button.  The Option key occupies the same  
slot as the Windows key on PC keyboards.
- Command-click = right button.  The Command key occupies the same  
slot as the Alt key on PC keyboards.

Does this help?

It probably should be done as it is done on Macs, although you'd still

have to come up with your idea of which key there is the ctrl and

which is the alt key.

So...how is it done on macs?
