- Note for OS X 10.5 Leopard users regarding Magic Control key: Magic control keys on Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard may conflict with 'Spaces' feature if you use the default control-1~4 shortcut keys of Spaces. This can be avoided by assigning a new modifier key from "System Preferences" -> "Expose & Spaces" -> Spaces tab. Even after this reassigning, control-3 or control-4 may not work properly as a magic control key. In this case, please open "System Preferences" -> "Keyboard & Mouse", then uncheck "Screen Shots" group, then check it again. This will forward the control-3 and control-4 magic key to MathMagic.
