Description

Starting with version 2505.10, the mapping of Option + mouse click to right-click behavior has been disabled to restore native Mac functionality. This change enables critical use cases for professional applications that require the Option/Alt key modifier during mouse interactions.
Key benefits

  • Adobe Photoshop on Mac VDA: Users can hold the Option key to change tool behavior before clicking, enabling proper tool functionality.
  • Windows VDA applications: Alt + mouse click works correctly for specific actions such as:
    • Vertical editing in Notepad++
    • Option + mouse drag to copy objects in Figma

Resolution

Mac users can still access right-click functionality through their preferred input method:

  • For trackpad users: Secondary Click is configured as Click with Two Fingers (Mac system default).
  • For Apple magic mouse users: Secondary Click is configured as Click right side (Mac system default) or can be performed using Control+Click.

This enhancement ensures that Mac users can access right-click functionality through their native input methods while preserving the Option/Alt key behavior required for professional applications.
