This is the latest OS X nightly build from Adam -

In the pcbnew window, the scripting console seems to work fine (It
responds to ‘help()’ )

I don’t think it has the trackpad patches installed yet, but the pcbnew
and eeschema windows do pan horizontally in response to CMD - two finger
move on the trackpad. pcbnew does this in all three view modes (default,
OpenGL, and Cairo). The OpenGL mode has the smoothest motion.

The panning direction is opposite to the direction of two finger panning
in other Mac applications.

Also, adding the shift key - shift CMD two finger move, I was expecting
the panning motion to be up-down, but it is actually panning on a 45 deg
angle NW-SE in the pcbnew window. This key combination gives in-out zoom
on the eeschema window.

The grid dots disappear in the OpenGL mode.

It might be useful to have a check mark appear on the View menu to
indicate which of the view modes is being used at the moment.

Solid progress - thanks much to all.
