Insert Key on MacOS in 1.6

Post by nixja »

Before upgrading to 1.6, I have a question on mapping the Insert key on a Mac.

I have a legacy applications that needs to have an Insert key. The default keyboard on a Mac doesn't have this key. Since pre 1.6 relied upon X11, my current configuration just uses an .Xmodmap file to map the F13 key to be the Insert key. That way when I'm running any app in wine, I can just hit F13 and the app things I hit Insert.

Now that 1.6 no longer requires X11 on Mac to run applications, is there a way I can configure similar behavior so that I can map some other key to mimic the Insert key in Windows?

Thanks!

you'd need some 3rd party key remapping app...

or... just use X11 with 1.6 like you did before and keep your Xmodmap. the mac driver is default, but not mandatory.

Ok, thanks. How do I configure wine to use X11 instead of the native mac driver?

Nevermind on the X11 question. I found the answer in the useful registry keys entry.

Thanks!
