macOS Key Mapping Issue: Ctrl key function (Command key) does not work for multiple operator creation

Hello TouchDesigner Support Team,

I am currently learning TouchDesigner on macOS and encountered an issue with modifier key mapping in the network editor.

Environment:

  • OS: macOS Tahoe 26.5

  • TouchDesigner Build: 2025.32820

  • Hardware: MacBook Pro

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Open “Op Create Menu” by Tab key.

  2. Attempt to select and place multiple operators at the same time by holding down the Command key (which usually acts as Ctrl on macOS).

  3. The shortcut does not work as expected, and it does not allow multiple operators to be queued for creation.

Context:
I am following the official 100 Fundamentals course, specifically lesson “101: Navigating the Environment → Working with COMPS” (Timestamp 00:43), where the instructor holds the Ctrl key (on Windows) to add multiple operators simultaneously.

On macOS, holding Command (or Control/Option) does not replicate this behavior.

Could you please let me know if this is a known bug, or if there is a specific workaround/setting for Mac users to achieve this functionality?

Thank you for your help!

Best regards,
Dmitrii

Thanks for report! This bug is now in the queue
