MacOS Specifics: Option vs Control for Multiple Select

[petervanderwalt]

MacOS and its nonstandard keyboard... As reported by @cojarbi: "fyi in Osx to click select multiple items usually its the option/alt not the control."

[petervanderwalt]

@cojarbi can you help me check what the browser thinks the Option key is?

Open browser to about:blank, and open Devtools: Paste

document.addEventListener('keydown', (event) => {
  const keyName = event.key;
  const altKey = event.altKey;
  const ctrlKey = event.ctrlKey
  alert('keydown event\n\n' + 'key: ' + keyName + "  /  Ctrl: " + ctrlKey + "  / altKey: " + altKey );
});

Click in the browserwindow and hit that Option key

Got it now, thanks

And easy enough - the browser thinks it Alt (so adding it, means windows people can alt+click or ctrl+click... not ideal but then again, unlikely someone would Alt+click as its rarely used on windows.

[petervanderwalt]

Is Option used instead of Ctrl for things like Undo (Ctrl+Z) and selectAll (Ctrl+A) too? Or just with clicking?

[petervanderwalt]

Option+click (same as Ctrl+click) is live in five, let me know if it works like it should
