Mac Keyboard Support

[Busybody64]

I can't get it to work right on macbook.
We don't have an alt key.
You should maybe change it so that it'll also work with command or option keys on a macbook.

What the flip, gmail?!
Allow me to translate and remove broken HTML comments that windows managed to shove into that reply.
I don’t know how to integrate the cmd key. What I do know is that after installation, you can use the following command to run it.
'js /a/appMan/start.js'
I suggest making a shortcut for this.
Right click > Create Shortcut
Input the command mentioned for the command box and give it whatever name and icon you want.

I will try to implement command key, in the mean time.

[Perodactyl]

Also, what keys do you use for alt and command?
I’d guess alt is the same as option and is next to spacebar, and command is control, in the corner next to fn.

I have no idea what a macbook’s keys are like. If I could learn from you I would appreciate it.

[Busybody64]

CTRL is to the right of FN, to the right of CTRL is option, then command is in between option and space. (there's another command right after the space, plus another option right next to the arrow keys)

[Busybody64]

Also, I WAS using that shortcut.
It just wants me to reboot, and it does seem to only have the test app there.
(also also, you really need to make uninstalling app manager easier)

[Perodactyl]

Oh. To uninstall, go to terminal and type uninstallappMan().
Really should make it possible to learn that.
The test app is hardcoded because I havent gotten around to other things. First I need something that I know what it will look like.

[Perodactyl]

You're saying that CMD is like the windows key and OPTION Is like ALT?

[Busybody64]

Yeah, something like that...

[Perodactyl]

Ok. now also: are either of the two keys used by the system or browser in ways that might interfere with the app manager?

P.S: Sorry for all the questions.

[Busybody64]

No they aren't.

[Perodactyl]

Ok. Thanks!

[Busybody64]

No problem.

[Busybody64]

Also you could make the appmanager gui look more like this:

[Busybody64]

Is this dead?

[Perodactyl]

Eh. Sorry, but kinda.

[Perodactyl]

It is no longer dead, I just worked on it a whole bunch.

[Perodactyl]

Can I close this issue?

[Perodactyl]

Can I close this issue?

Never mind. If you want, you can try and get this program working.

[Busybody64]

I never dealt with mac support before

[Perodactyl]

Huh. Does it at least work fine?

[Busybody64]

The MacKeys didn't work.

Option+A and Command+A did nothing.

You should probably see if you could get it to actually register one of the two keys (Option or Command) as the ALT key.

[Perodactyl]

Okay. I'll try this again.

[Perodactyl]

Can you try it now after updating?

[Busybody64]

Still does nothing.
You might need to look up how to get mac keys to work with js.

[Perodactyl]

Ok. I did, and the library seems pretty intuitive, but it won't work. I'll try and fix it up.

[Perodactyl]

I found this neat macOS emulator I'll try to test with.

[Perodactyl]

Or... maybe not. It seems very, absurdly old. Can you help me find a mac emulator?

[Busybody64]

Try to use metakeys
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/KeyboardEvent/metaKey
I found a page that might help

[Perodactyl]

Ok! The question is option. Can you find out about the option key, or are you fine with command?

[Perodactyl]

This says that altKey is ⌥. Strange.

[Perodactyl]

Have you tried Option+A yet?

[Busybody64]

I honestly think Command works fine, but option didn't work either, so... uh.... yeah.

Edit: NEVER MIND, USE OPTION, COMMAND+A TRIGGERS SELECT ALL

[Perodactyl]

Ok. That makes sense why it does. Like Ctrl+A on windows and ubuntu. The issue is that I can't seem to get Option to work.
