In advance, rotating planet feels choppy in full screen full res on MBP 16. Zoom in/out is fluid and fine

Interesting, this is in planetart production mode? Ccould you please send us a bug report about this, when this happens again?

Hey Hey. If it is a native Test 4 Mac then how should that work for Mac? I for one run eve under wine. And it is far away from stable.

On Singularity the regular EVE launcher for Mac is now starting the native Mac client and no longer the client through Wine. Check The Native Mac Client is now the default client for Singularity 🎉 for details.

@Joseph_Panacan

Does the test include M1 Macs?

YES, it does.

@Devalius

Will the default Mac keyboard shortcuts be improved in the next patch? The previous default set was less than optimal (e.g. Shift+Space to stop ship is awkward, should default to Ctrl+Space). It would be great if the defaults could be changed to avoid the need for Mac users to do unnecessary re-binding.

@Nanana_Torgovala

Ctrl+Space is the default binding in Mac OS for keyboard layout switching, that’s why they changed it to Shift+Space

We made some adjustments to keyboard shortcuts, but “Stop Ship” is still mapped to “Shift+Space”. “CTRL+Space” is unfortunately already used and so far we could not find any better replacement (but I have to agree, that I personally also still struggle with it, especially as I am constantly switching between Mac and Windows).
If you have any feedback for the keyboard shortcuts, especially on how exactly to improve them, then please write it up here: The Native Mac Client is now the default client for Singularity 🎉 If you think that any keyboard shortcut is just broken, then please also send a bug report.

@Ming_Pho

does macos speech recognition work with the eve native client?

As far as I know not.
