Shift+Tab problem in mac

[Anonymous]

Hello, sorry if this question is repeated, I just jumped from win to mac, so I used to use shift+tab in win to put coordinates, when I'm making a line or wall. But in mac, i couldn't do it I have tried to find in settings something similar, but unfortunately unsuccesefully...

Thanks in advance....

My tracker is on, the problem is, when I draw a line for example, with mouse I choose a direction, with shift I straight the line, when I press tab with holding shift, the tracker is not work, when I release shift and press tab, tracker is working.

That's true for me as well.
If you hold shift and press "D" (for distance)...
are you then able to input the length?

I'm having the same problem as Anonymous.

The issue is that on Windows you can click and drag, hold shift, and while holding shift press tab. This allows you to continue dragging the object along a polar coordinate while pressing tab.

On Mac you click and drag, hold shift, and after letting go of shift press tab to enter a numerical input into the tracker. By having to let go of shift the object often loses its inference to a polar coordinate so it moves in an arbitrary direction which is quite frustrating.

It seems like this is either an AC bug or an issue with the Mac keyboard settings. It looks like shift+tab is being used as a 'System shortcut' which may be why Archicad isn't acting the same way it does on Windows.

If anyone has suggestions for how to fix this it would be greatly appreciated.
