IDE' mouse problem with 3.4.1 on macOS
#2
Did this mouse come with your computer or did you buy it separately? As far as I know a Mac mouse has only one button. To get the "right mouse button click" on Windows, have to hold "command" key and then click on MacOS, right? But a third button? You have to tell me about it.

It's going to be difficult to consider this, well, because I have seen enough MacBook Pros and other portable computers by ApCo and they don't even have any buttons south of the keyboard, just the finger pad. Tap to click. Because I'm clumsy, none of those computers would have been for me at any price. :/

Also please note that the QB64 IDE is an emulation of a text-console-mode program for MS-DOS, in which mouse support was "tacked on". Had to run a resident program provided by M$ to have mouse support before launching the QB.EXE executable. It had nothing to do with Windows for as long as QuickBASIC was sold, but Windows v3.1 was already taking names by the time Visual Basic for DOS then for Windows came around in the mid-1990's. This might be difficult for somebody to comprehend who has never seen 16-bit software in action, and/or who has never seen a console-driven operating system more severe than an ordinary Linux or MacOS terminal.

I'm bumping this thread to see if DSMan195276 or someone else sees it and replies to you. I didn't like that goose-egg for a few days for your thread...
