## Usage
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### ROM and Disk Images
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can import the ROM (`vMac.ROM`) and disk images (with `.dsk` or `.img`
|
|
|
|
|
extension) into Mini vMac from other apps (iCloud Storage, Dropbox, etc), using
|
|
|
|
|
AirDrop, or via iTunes File Sharing.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* To insert disk images, swipe left with two fingers and the list of disks will
|
|
|
|
|
appear. Icons are automatically generated based on the contents of the disk.
|
|
|
|
|
* Tap an hold on a file to delete, rename or share
|
|
|
|
|
* Tap the Edit button to show all files, and the Create Disk Image option
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The disk image menu will attempt to find an icon from the following sources (in
|
|
|
|
|
descending order of priority):
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Volume icon (System 7)
|
|
|
|
|
2. Application icon, if the disk contains only one application
|
|
|
|
|
3. Application matching the name of the volume (not the disk image)
|
|
|
|
|
4. Application with name written in the comment field of the volume
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If no icon is found, it will show a standard floppy disk icon.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Keyboard
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Swipe up with two fingers to show the keyboard, and down to hide it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The emulated keyboard features all the keys on an Apple Extended keyboard
|
2016-11-18 23:37:32 +00:00
|
|
|
(except the Power key). The Command, Option, Control and Shift keys are
|
2016-05-22 19:48:34 +00:00
|
|
|
sticky, to make keyboard shortcuts easier to type. You can change the
|
|
|
|
|
appearance of the emulated keyboard in the settings.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you have an external keyboard attached, you can use it too, although some
|
|
|
|
|
shortcuts may interfere with iOS.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Mouse
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can choose to use the screen as a touchscreen, where tapping on the screen
|
|
|
|
|
acts a mouse click, or as a trackpad. In trackpad mode, dragging is done by
|
|
|
|
|
tapping twice fast and holding it down.
|
|
|

If you have a jailbroken device and [BTC Mouse & Trackpad](http://www.ringwald.ch/cydia/mouse/),
|
|
|
|
|
Mini vMac will use your bluetooth mouse or trackpad.
