Some trackpad love?

[geoidesic]

I was excited to discover this module. However...

Right-clicking whilst left-click dragging isn't possible on a trackpad. So it's not a great choice for the mechanic and certainly doesn't make life any easier for me :) What would be better IMHO is if the controls were configurable.

Personally I think Roll20 got it right. They have hotkey q linked to the ruler. So if you're measuring with the ruler (by left-click and drag with the ruler tool) you just tap q to lay way-points down (escape to remove a waypoint).

Then they use exactly the same mechanic for token movement waypoints: left-click and drag your token and tap q for each waypoint, then release the mouse when you're done and movement happens on hitting space bar.

It works for trackpad.

You can hold down ctrl while you have a token selected and move your mouse and then the rangefinder will appear. While holding down ctrl and moving your mouse, you can left click to add waypoints. That's how I do it on trackpad personally 🙂

2.1.2 - DragRuler no longer shows for GM movements, unless the GM holds down 'Alt' to broadcast. If your movement speed uses decimals, it will now work properly. You can now also press 'P' to place a waypoint while dragging if you're on a touchpad.
