Yes, some pages before someone else was reporting that it is not (only partially) working for Mac; I asked whether someone can help me to adjust the extension for Macs, but so far I could not adjust it, I am also not sure whether it is possible to adjust this in an extension But I hope that there is a solution

Interesting. I'm running through a windows virtual machine on a mac (rather than running windows natively). It appears whatever MacOS is doing, it is interfering with even a virtual operating system.
I did have one of my players on Windows see if they could change token heights on their end with my current setup. It also didn't work for them. We both noted normal mousewheel does nothing (as expected) and could use Ctrl - Mouse Wheel to change facing, so I assume we are doing this right. I still need to try booting natively to Windows.
There's another extension that does height and a bunch more things (I believe something like combat enhancer + token helper). That one also doesn't work (for setting token height), so I suspect the two are capturing mouse scroll wheel input in a similar way.Last edited by Minethulhu; October 22nd, 2020 at 20:53.

Hm, I think that there might be indeed some bug, Blackfoot reported some similar bug also some pages ago, but I can sadly not reproduce it, hence, I suspect that it might be caused by something external, maybe a special programme used for defining hotkeys etc., I am not sure.
Can you maybe try one of the other extensions here from the first page? Of a different size. Not that one of these is accidentally wrong for whatever reason while I have the correct code in my own environmentMy extensions for 3.5e and Pathfinder

I already tried both normal and large versions of the extensions.
I did find something which I believe is the cause of the problem. On MacOS shift-mouse wheel allows you to scroll horizontally (on screens with that have a left-right scroll). Presumably the OS is intercepting the call. I'm not seeing any option in System Preferences for MacOS to disable this "feature". Any chance to change keys?
Without this extension mousewheel alone changes facing.
With this extension, both CTRL-mousewheel and ALT-mousewheel work to change orientation and change token size (forget which order).
I currently have command-mousewheel (command is like the windows key and should be on all macs) set to zoom in and out on my mac screen, but this can be disabled.

Are you using FG Classic or FG Unity?
In FG Unity, I know we just handled that special case on Mac (Shift + mouse wheel translating to horizontal scroll is intercepted back to standard wheel with modifier key).

Since I know these work with Fantasy Grounds while interacting with tokens from the CT (some with and some without your extension):
no modifier key + mouse wheel
CTRL + mouse wheel
ALT + mouse wheel
and only this doesn't appear to work:
SHIFT + mouse wheel
Would it be possible to have your modifier key mapping configurable in the settings menu of Fantasy Grounds? Since we only need 3 modifiers and we have 4 to choose from (assuming "no modifier" is viable) this might be an option to make this work. It should probably default to current configuration to not confuse current users, but assuming this works, it "might" (possibly big assumption) make this work on a mac.
No hurry or pressure if you have other life commitments. I recognize this might be a big ask for potentially a small (and maybe shrinking) portion of your users, so I can survive by fudging and making scribbles on the map as I have in the past...
