preview box with a Mac

[richard85392]

Does anybody know the shortcut for making a preview box with a Mac?
a pc is Alt-N. Thanks!

Depending which Mac keyboard you have, try function key, fn, and hold down followed by Option key+N, this seems to work on the wireless keyboards (compact and full size).

TBH it's a bit of a stretch on the full size keyboard to hit fn+option+n and I find it much easier and faster just to right mouse click anywhere in the image then select from the context menu 'Mode' > 'New Preview' or click on the 'New Preview' icon in the top toolbar.

CAPS LOCK ON Option>n works but strangely shift>option>n does not

i think this is a longstanding problem that juan could not reproduce since his keyboards don't exhibit the problem.

i am a mac user and have only ever used PI on OSX, and all this time i've just been pressing the "new preview" button in the toolbar.

if the STF on/off or mask/on off keyboard shortcuts didn't work i'd be mad, but at least for me hitting the button is fine.

I just right click in the image > Mode > New Preview

Doesn't answer your question about a keyboard shortcut but pretty fast way to get there anyways...

I am trying stevek's approach, but when I right click on the image, and select Mode, the New Preview is grayed out.

Any ideas why?

Thanks
