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

[Arun K. <aru...@gm...>]

Hi Steve,

Thanks. I ran the command, but before that would want me copy the file that
you attached somewhere? I copied it to the same location where "scid" was
present (i.e. under /APplications/ScidvsMac.app...etc) and then ran the
command. The logs said the patch application was successful and indeed it
did work too, when i click "v+varNumber". However, it loses the keyboard
context. I need to have to click back on the moves or the game window to
resume. I see that, as per your email that is exactly what you tried to
tweak. But why isn't that working for me?

Thanks and regards,
Arun
