"Shift" key in World Editor on Macs

Hey all,

Having recently acquired a Mac and being in the process of transitioning from my previous computer, a PC, I'm finding myself with some serious issues concerning World Editor usability. Obviously, there's the annoyance of not having a proper JASS editor for the Mac, but, somewhat more urgently, I'm even running into difficulties with something as simple as terraining. Specifically, the "Shift" key on the Mac, which, to my knowledge, functions almost identically to the "Shift" key in Windows, has almost none of the same functionality in the World Editor. That said, I can't "Shift"+double click to enter negative values in the Object Editor, and I can't "Shift"+"Page Up"/"Page Down" to raise or lower doodads. Needless to say, this is getting in the way of much of my creative doodad use (think, no x/y rotation and no height modification). While I'm sure there may be other issues, these are the two I've identified at the moment, and I'd greatly appreciate if someone familiar with this problem might help me with a way around it.

Thanks so much,

The Hegemuffin

I think I might be able to solve the negative number problem; go to File -> Preferences -> Allow Negative Real Values.

Negative values are already allowed :(

I'm quite familiar with all of this stuff on a PC and using World Editor in general, so, unfortunately, it's definitely the "Shift" key that's not working. Everything else is the same :(

Hey, I know I posted this a while ago, but does anyone have any further insights? I now need a negative value for something else I'm doing and it's still not working (the shift+click thing).

Would copy and pasting the value work?
Example: Type -10 on a Text Editor. Copy '-10'. Paste on the WE.

It's not the apple or option key, though it could definitely be a key combination I'm not aware of. I guess I'll keep trying.

And copy and pasting was a good idea, but I had tried it earlier and all it did was make the editor choke up for a couple of seconds and then the numbers came out without the "minus" sign. :(

Thanks for the ideas. Any other thoughts?

    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
