IDE' mouse problem with 3.4.1 on macOS

[Fifi]

Thank you for the detailed information and the insight about being an user of Macintosh.

I should have known a trick about that single button...

I have a computer which, from far away only has the finger pad. But the two buttons are concealed. It's still a bit crazy to me. The touchpad also has a special area that, when it's given a focused touch with the finger, it enables "numeric keypad" mode, or disables it if it was on previously.

Hi mnrvovrfc,
Thanks for you note.
If you still have your whatever-mac, just plug a very classic mouse device with its two buttons and its scrolling wheel via any USB port and you'll get the same behaviors than with a "Magic Mouse".
However, what OS release runs on this "old" system? I hope it's not anymore a version 9 that's out of concern for qb64pe but you've any macOS 10.X.Y version on it.

What a shame that Mr. Heitor didn't look into the three-button mouse thing. It seems he didn't use it and he didn't think there was someone else trying to use QB64 on a Macintosh. It would be nice if he could return and contribute to the project even if he could do so infrequently.

I've been able to talk by phone and mail exchanges a lot of time with Fellippe in the past and I can tell you he's a very very very nice person.
Yes it's a real shame and I don't know and doesn't want to know why he had quit the project, but from the last exchange I'd a chance to have with him a couple of months ago, I can tell you that's a pity but I unfortunately think he'll never come back.
Whatever the reasons, this is a huge lost for this project and not only for the macOS part.
That's also very bad for InForm that's an excellent tool which could be integrated within the qb64pe project as it was planed but that needs a small fix that I'm not able to do unless I spend a crazy time to find the problem (remember, I'm not really a coder).

There are a lot of lurkers to this forum, I'm sure. We need more people so this Phoenix Edition is as good on Macintosh as it is on the other two "major" operating systems. Then a few years later maybe for FreeBSD or something else...

For what I know, FreeBSD isn't anymore the "base' of the last Apple "macOS" for the machines with the M1 chip.
Further, even if I truly appreciate all my current Apple machines (2 iMac 27 one of each has also a 27" Thunderbolt screen , 1 old iMac 20, 1 old eMAC and 2 MacBooks), I don't appreciate their last hardware policy (especially with the M1 chip) where all the components are glued or soldered on the motherboard and where you can't anymore proceed to changes, repairs or upgrades (even the official dealers can't).
So, I guess like a vast majority of Apple aficionados, I'll use my current machines as long as they'll live.
Then when I will not be able to repair my current systems anymore, this will be the end of my venture with Apple, and due to my age, may be to me also.

Cheers.

Just for fun, below is a picture I just took of my iMac27 development environment on macOS High Sierra with it's second 27" Thunderbolt screen and where I run on the main screen a VM with Linux mint on which I'm sending this post to you and on the second screen another VM with Windows 10, all that thanks to VMware Fusion. There is also a White MacBook on which I look TV programs when I work.
