Opt-click works for me
Authored by: JohnnyMnemonic on Oct 10, '02 10:58:54AM

Opt click already works for me--maybe because I upgraded from 10.1 rather than did a clean install? Currently running 10.2.1 with all the updates.

It already works for me, also, and I did a clean install. My Users directory is on another partition. I would think that anyone who had in some fashion preserved their home directory would not have lost this feature. Right?

I did a clean install and then migrated my $HOME over with psync but my option setting in terminal wouldn't stick until I tried this hint. Don't know why it affects different people differently.

Now if I could just get the window behavior in terminal to be more like it was in 10.1.5 where it would be more in the upper left corner of the screen upon launch rather than in the lower middle area which is in the way of other work. I tried futzing with the x and y values in the .plist as well as the uly value but it doesn't seem to do anything.

Yeah, it really bugs me that a lot of window locations still don't stick in Jaguar... Why is that? It seems unbelievable that Apple wouldn't be able to make windows stay where you moved them when you relaunch an app!! I know it's still a work in progress, but come on, this seems so basic...

   That's interesting. I preserved my home directory except for com.apple preferences. Thus, I know why "Option click to position cursor" didn't work for me. It is strange that it would fail for people who preserved their 10.1 preferences.
   I agree about the window issue and it's true for other Apple apps as well, like TextEdit.

Arrange your window(s) just like you want them and set all the options you want. Go to "Save as.." and check "Open this file when Terminal starts up", if you have more than one windows also choose "All Windows" for "What to Save:".

A really neat function if you ask me.

frjo, thanks. I had forgotten about the .term files and how useful they really are.

NO Opt-click for me

On my brand-new G4 tower that came with Jaguar 10.2.1 pre-installed, option-click does not work in the Terminal.

Using the hint (and, or course, quitting then re-launching Terminal) just restored "option-clickability." Thanks!
