Keyboard and Mouse Preferences

Because Windows PCs and Macs typically have different keyboard layouts and different mice, CrossOver provides several mechanisms for adapting your Mac input devices for use with Windows software.

Enable keyboard modifiers for mouse buttons.  If you have a one-button mouse you may wish to enable this setting in order to right-click in Windows applications. Turning this on may interfere with some game controls.

Default value: off

Option Key assignment.  Typically the Option key is assigned to act as an 'Alt' key in Windows. If your keyboard requires use of the Option key for character input (for instance, the use of accents or punctuation) then you may wish to set one of your Option keys to 'Accesses additional characters for keys' instead.

Default value: varies with keyboard setup.
