Messing around with Mini #vMac emulator on my #Pi3.

Very annoying issue. I don't know if it's my keyboard or ancient #Raspian or what but <alt>-<mouseclick> doesn't work, should be presented to macos as command-click.

With alt held down, the mouseclick is ignored. F2 should also be the command key but is ignored.

This made it very tricky to get stuffit expander to unarchive files pulled in by importfi. 😢

My sysadmin Don pointed out that this probably the window manager stealing the alt key.

Probably true. I've disabled all the mouse-click steals the wm does, and that wasn't enough. Gotta go back through and disable all the wm's keybindings.

@goosey As someone who uses a lot of custom keybindings in Emacs, the fist thing I do on a new Linux system is disable all the window manager shortcuts. They tend to steal a lot of stuff.

Yeah, I feel the same. All key events should go to the selected window, especially if it's EMACS!
