I think Mac OS X's official stance on mouse grab (which I mostly support personally) is: get a new UI design. How about: when the snip has the focus, shift and mouse down rotates things and normal mouse down just moves the mouse? Then you'd get the ability to slide along left and then go back and

Welp, that's it. Also, you got ninja'd by Jack. I have some ideas. We'll see how they turn out. What I really need is mouse grab, but Racket's GUI framework doesn't provide a way to do it. Neil ⊥ On 03/10/2015 09:39 PM, Alexander D. Knauth wrote: I get that too. On Mar 10, 2015, at 9:34 PM

Robby was afraid that might happen on OS X. The weird thing is that I don't have reports of it from any other OS X users. It looks like we'll need alternative input methods for movement as well. (Turns out that WASD aren't necessarily near each other on all keyboards.) I'll add this to my inpu
