Hi, all

I’ve pushed a branch containing some changes that I use to make kicad more livable for me on OS X.  This is mostly for Apple Magic Trackpad users, but I’d be curious to hear from mousewheel users on OS X, or even Linux and Windows users if they were inclined to try out these changes.

The changes are basically in two parts.  The first is optional and requires an additional patch to wxWidgets on OS X, and that kicad be compiled with a feature macro turned on (updated instructions in compiling/mac-osx.txt).  This enables pinch-to-zoom.

The rest does not require any changes in the way things are built.  This adds a preference for the default mousewheel function and changes the way panning is done; It does not change the way mousewheel zooming behaves (but perhaps should).

For best results on a trackpad I recommend compiling with the pinch-to-zoom support and checking “Use mousewheel to pan” in the preferences of the various apps.

If you’re a Mac trackpad user and have a spare few moments, please give these changes a try and let me know how they work for you.  They’re in lp:~gcorral/kicad/osx-trackpad-gestures


Thanks in advance,

Garth
