Re: [Scidvspc-users] Regarding Scid Vs Mac shortkey for choosing Variation

[Steve A <ste...@gm...>]

Messing around with patches isn't especially easy, and 'patch' may not
even be installed, but you can try

  patch /Applications/ScidvsMac.app/Contents/MacOS/scid < osx_focus_tweak.patch

or look online for 'patch' tutorials. It is an ugly, but handy skill to have.

S.A.
