Hi All, In Scid Vs Mac whenever there is a choice between variations (i.e. the grey arrow and the black arrow), I feel very inclined to have a keyboard shortcut that could help me switch into a variation or continue with the mainline. However currently there is no such keyboard shortcut and the any combination with forward button invariable continues with the mail line. Could you please let know if there is a keyboard shortcut incase I am missing it? Thanks and regards, Arun |

Under Linux, I had to set this: Options --> Moves --> Show Variation Arrows. Then, when coming to a variation, a window pops up and I can use the up-arrow or down-arrow keys to select a variation and press the Enter key.

Hi Steve, Thanks much for this. But how do I install the given patch? Haven't done this before. Though got a good idea of patch building etc, in this open source context am not very sure. Any instructions on how to apply the patch?

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. On Thu, Jul 4, 2013 at 10:55 PM, Arun Kumar <aru...@gm...> wrote: > Hi Steve, > > Thanks much for this. But how do I install the given patch?

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?

Ok - i was wrong, and you need the current version for this to work. Attached is a patch for converting 4.9.2 to todays svn. First, reverse previous patch (same command as before but add '-R') or reinstall 4.9.2, then patch using patch /Applications/ScidvsMac.app/Contents/MacOS/scid <svn.patch OS X has very nasty TCL and TK bugs, and Apple show no inclination to provide even one paid dev to fix this complicated and important software. That is why we include our own TCL with scidvspc and in future may have to link TCL to XQuartz instead of the more attractive carbon framework. Anyway, i might not reply anymore to this thread. Hope it works. You can always install svn, XCode, and then checkout svn and use "make mac" and "make mac_install_gui" to keep up with most recent changes. Steve |

HI Steve, Would like to let you know however that after the patch, there is a problem with keyboard context when alt-tabbing on and off scidvsmac. Whenever i try to look for the moves in a pdf file that i have and alt-tab to Scid to move forward with moves, the keyboard context is no more there. I have to manually click either on the board or on the moves to get the keyboard context working again. Even then at times moves don't seem to happen when keyin in the move-forward > button etc...
