Tablet PC

Post #1by Apollonian » 13.03.2006, 18:44

Has anyone ever used Celestia on a Tablet PC (Windows)?

I don't know if it is impossible, but the normal ways to "right-click" to orbit bodies in Celestia doesn't work with either the pen or the pad.

I haven't tried a USB mouse yet; hopefully that will work.

If anyone has any ideas, I'd appreciate it. I have to give a presentation this Thursday.

The four Shift-Arrow keyboard combinations should cause the viewpoint to orbit, too.

I've never used a tablet PC, so I don't know if those key combinations would be available.

That works! Thanks, you're awesome. I usually work from my desktop so I'm used to using a mouse. I shall have to investigate Celestia hotkeys more in depth.
