Hi,
I'm using this post to address a number of things that others
have said as well:
> Ubuntu Live CDs end to work on these. That would be one option.
> Although Mac OSX works fine.
The Macs come from an Apple store who will have a certain interest in
showing off their product. This means I will neither install Ubuntu,
nor can I plug in a cheap el-ugly USB mouse.
Ok I'm now convinced that I can use the Macs.
Someone said that zooming in JOSM is a pain sometimes; I just want to
point out that you can zoom in increments with Ctrl-, and Ctrl-.
(comma and decimal point).
I am quite confused now about dragging the map. Many have said that
using the mouse with JOSM on the Macs does not work very well. But
then I am told you can use Ctrl "rightclick simulation" to do the
dragging, and others again say that some applications would use the
space bar a a modifier key. Why would they, if Ctrl is already built
in? If somebody can tell me exactly how you would like JOSM to behave
on a mousically challenged system then we could maybe fix that... my
first shot would have been supporting a modifier key but obviously
OSX does that already with Ctrl and it seems not to be what people want?
Maybe we should have that discussion over on josm-dev though.
Bye
Frederik
