I've always used command + '8' or '9' for switching run/edit modes in the IDE
Command+Tab and Command+Shift+Tab have been 'Application Switcher' in macOS since at least MacOS 8 days.

OK, OK: NOW it works, after a restart of OXT Lite, something that was NOT explicitly stated for morons like me.

AND: fantastic from my point of view: one less mouse movement across the screen(s); one less factor contributing to repetitive stress injury. 8-)

I'll go and test that out in MacOS now and see what's going on (or not)
For context, I have a 'standard' usb mouse connected here. (if there is such a thing) - nothing 'exotic' though.

I don't know why you have "Settings"... but menus do their own thing on MacOS.

MacOS 15 beta
You might have answered that question, running a MacOS beta.

The build number is available in two places.
One in the 'Automatic Updates' tab in that preferences window, the other in the "Help" > "IDE Information"

Oh, Krishna: clicking on the scroll wheel does nothing.

You're the man!

BUT :lol: does "middle Button" mean a click or a wheel-wiggle, as I very much doubt anyone has one of these:

Mind you: I still cannot find out the build number. 8-)

I like that very much, so... if you check for updates - there will be something new available now.
It'll give you a new option here:

That will take you to this build number in OXT Lite 1.05:

If you turn that on, you'll be able to middle-click (mousewheel button) and toggle between browse and pointer tools.

I like the idea of this. Perhaps as a preference option. :idea:

Hmmm, can't get that to work. Ctrl Tab does nothing it would seem.

That might throw off those drop-down menus that appear on a right mouse button press.

Hi there

I guess this is for Tom

New Pointer Suggestion:

If in Browse mode: right mouse button would be Edit mode

If in Edit mode: right mouse button would be Browse mode

(I have not thought this thoroughly through but I think It would be handy)
