Right Click Doesn't Work on Mac
« on: March 09, 2014, 08:35:04 am »
Hello, I am running EA via crossover on a Mac. I am aware that right-clicking should bring up context menus. However, when I perform a right-click in EA from my Mac (which is CNTL->MouseClick).

Is right click a different key sequence with EA on Mac than CNTL->MouseClick?

I would be grateful for any help. Thank you very much.

I use either my touch pad with two finger click or a >1 button mouse which also works. Don't tell me you still use a 1 button Mac Mouse from the last millennium.

The issue with Ctrl+click not working is probably that EA defines behavior explicitly for Ctrl+right click on a diagram.

The following is an answer to a similar question I answered a while back - hopefully it may also be helpful here:

You may have an issue on your machine with mapping of modifier keys such as Ctrl and Alt.  In some cases, the command and control key functions may be reversed.

You can change key mappings as follows:
1. Go to your system preferences
2. Click on keyboard and mouse
3. Click on keyboard.
4. click on modifier keys

see:

If you are still having issues, try going to the Crossover menu, Preferences, Keyboard & Mouse tab, and check the Enable Keyboard Modifiers checkbox. Then in Enterprise Architect you should be able to control-click (the equivalent of right-clicking on a 1-button Mac) and the EA right-click modifiers should also appear.
