The code would need to distinguish Safari on Window and Safari on Mac.
As pointed out by Mans on the mapguide-internals mailing list: On Apple computers ctrl+click is used for right click. That is the reason why it was set up different for Safari. I think this change was made before Safari became available for Windows.

Thanks for your reply Tom. Mans is rigt, ctrl+click is used for right click. What should be distinguished is OS not browser.(FF could also be installed on Mac)
However, current design still have a problem. we can not use Shift+click(as designed) to invoke URL, beecause Shift+click is used for mutiple selection in MapGuide. Can we set it to others modifier keys?

Can we use the command key? Paul, do you know if it would be acceptable to use the Mac command key + click to open a URL in the MG basic viewer on the Mac?

I think that would work fine. I'm not sure what the right event codes are to trap command + click but I'm sure its possible to figure out. I tried 'command-click' in all my browsers and it does nothing special. In relation to usability, mac users use the command key in the same way that windows users use the control key (i.e. command-c is copy instead of ctrl-c)

Thanks for your suggestions. I've uploaded a new patch and tested on Safari, FF and Chrome based on MacOS. Please review it. Thanks.

The patch looks good. If you ctrl-click on a Mac, does the MapGuide context menu pop up?

Thank you for this review. Ctrl + Click can open the context menu on Mac.

Since the behavior for safari is not different to other browsers, we can just curtail the "prerogative" from Safari.
