#1762 Ravel Basics 00 - Unable to make non contiguous selections on keyboard
Following the Ravel Basics series video 00,
and doing it in Ravel myself.
After selecting 'Pick axis slices' for Sector, I get 5 options,
I am unable to select the top one as well as the bottom one, using any keys, which is on a PC keyboard using a Mac-mini.
When I queried with Russel, he seemed to think it was responding to the Control key rather than the Command key.

Just checked - control click doesn't even do anything on a Mac.
Some more googling - control click causes a context menu event. It is hardcoded into MacOSX, and cannot be remapped. Sigh.
I will fix this sometime this next week.
Note - in Javascript speak, the command key is called "Meta", so you also need to check the status of event.metaKey.
I have gone through the codebase, and unified the behaviour of the control and meta keys, which should get around this Mac limitation. This is now released as 3.7.6 with a Mac build only (since it doesn't really affect the other platforms).
