I am quite confused now about dragging the map. Many have said that<br>
using the mouse with JOSM on the Macs does not work very well. But<br>
then I am told you can use Ctrl "rightclick simulation" to do the<br>
dragging, and others again say that some applications would use the<br>
space bar a a modifier key. Why would they, if Ctrl is already built<br>
in? If somebody can tell me exactly how you would like JOSM to behave<br>
on a mousically challenged system then we could maybe fix that... my<br>
first shot would have been supporting a modifier key but obviously<br>
OSX does that already with Ctrl and it seems not to be what people want?<br></blockquote></div><br><div>Really, the easiest thing to do is to re-map the right button on the Mighty Mouse to "mouse button 2", rather then it's default "mouse button 1" (like the left button). While I love my Mac, I'm much too used to conventional 3 button mice to accept the "one true button" philosophy of Macdom. I suspect even hardcore Mac fans click on the left side now for the most part.</div>
