[0.14.x-0.15.x] macOS Keybindings - Unable to open Bprint Bk

Post by Sparen »

Hello. I'm a macOS user who has been playing Factorio for a few hundred hours (AKA casual) on macOS. Originally, this problem only applied to power armor but with the advent of the blueprint book, the issue became more problematic. 0.15 features expanded blueprint functionality, so I believe that it is important to mention this now in case it has not been mentioned in the past.

The problem is as follows: the MacBook Pro and other Apple Laptops has no right or middle mouse buttons. Therefore, all mappings to these keys must be altered, usually to CTRL-Mouse Click, which is the standard. However, the opening of the Power Armor grid and the opening of Blueprint Books is hard-mapped to the right mouse key regardless of OS or Hardware. Additionally, unless it's under some extremely obscure name in the controls, it is not possible to remap those controls, unless I have done something with my config settings that warrants a key binding conflict. In-game, the control mapping when hovering over still says "Right mouse click" and Factorio key mappings in game tend to display the actual key binding in the control config, so I naturally assume that the setting cannot be changed.

Anyways, this issue has been around for a while and getting used to 0.15's new blueprint system (no tech required, slightly confusing system) absolutely requires the ability to remap the keys that open Blueprint Books.

Thank you very much.
