A Mac User's Plea

Cruzatte · 04-11-2012, 08:49 PM

It just drives me crazy that OOTP doesn't allow navigation between screens (back/forward) with multi-touch gestures... mainly because literally every other Mac application I regularly use DOES, so I'm constantly trying to swipe only to realize that I have to navigate the cursor to the buttons or move my hand to the keyboard.

I understand that OOTP's platform layers aren't highly advanced, but it sure seems like other publishers, big and small, have adapted to the new multi-touch paradigm.

(It doesn't help that OOTP13's back/forward buttons are apparently smaller, and aren't located at the edge of the screen anymore (i.e. no longer can you just flick your cursor all the way left and wind up on the back button).)

Markus et al., is it possible to to give us an ETA on this functionality?

As a fellow Mac user I, too, would like to see this. I haven't purchased 13 yet but will eventually. Hopefully it can make it in.

You can have that only if I can have the ability to freely create and modify keyboard shortcuts for any page.

Multi-touch gestures would be nice, that's for sure.

I've used a Mac and have made many gestures towards it.

my asus has that gestures crap. its so pointless and stupid. i would have uninstalled it if it wasnt for the fact that unlike the store demo version, it didnt have the right side page scroll on the touchpad.

but i do wish that the forward and back buttons on my mouse would work in the game.

I have notified our platform layer developer, maybe it is an easy fix for him, we'll see. I personally have no clue about stuff like this

I thought the same thing when the gestures were introduced, but I found that I used them so much I bought a trackpad for my Mac. Really cool feature I use quite a bit.
