Mac Laptop Keyboard Update

A nice addition for an update to Supernova 2 would be a (Mac Book Pro) laptop control scheme. The plus and minus buttons do not work for a laptop (it has no number pad). Kind of hard to control real time turns without the plus and minus buttons. Also trackpad seems kind of eradicate on my mac book pro laptop too.

Hmm true. I have an idea, on next update I make speed changes through numbers (1..9) where 0 is pause, should be more practical than now! 8)

Ok, sounds good to make speed changes numbers 1-9 and zero is pause.
Thanks

Try using the function key "fn" with the + and - keys to change the speed. It works on my PowerBook G4. This saves the hassle of turning the imbedded keypad on and off all the time. Plus I think the "p" key is more intuitive for the pause function than the "0" key.

The MacBook Pro doesn't have a number pad useable by a function key. That was one of the first things I tried!

Well I can implement both: using keys +, - and P like now, but also using the numbered keys. Won't be a problem to have both options to make everyone happy ;)

The update would be nice to have sometime in the near future. There is no big rush, but I thought it would be done by now.

Lol yes you're right. I've been so busy with so many projects that I completely forgot about this. I'll try to make this change shortly!
