For Mac players
Posted: Tue May 24, 2011 9:54 pm
I play PC games on two Macs (an I7 Imac and a Mac Pro) with Bootcamp, and have no problems at all with every
thing maxed, except for an occasional problem with the keyboard. Yesterday I spent two hours looking for the IMac extended thin keyboard equivalent of "insert" (to show colored terrain). Note to PC programmers: Puhleese NEVER use the "insert" key for ANY useful keystroke, it will drive Mac users crazy. [:-] I saw many suggestions on the web for Mac equivalents for the "insert" key, but none of them worked.
Finally after what felt like 2 hours [:@] I found the keystroke by some accident:"function 5" . As a matter of fact the fn 1-9 keystrokes all do something useful (some keystrokes like "delete" also don't work and are mapped on these keys).
So go go go Mac users and don't forget to use the function key!
