i should mention that this is on mac

Unfortunately this is currently a bug with Unity (http://issuetracker.unity3d.com/issues/input-in-configuration-window-does-not-allow-to-assign-mouse-keys-on-mac).

As a temporary solution if you email me the settings file for the game I should be able to override it and send it back. It can be found at;

user/Library/Preferences/unity.Matthew Brown.Hexcells.plist

(By default the library is hidden in Finder, if so you can right click in the window and select Show View Options where it can be toggled)

If you send that file to matthew.brown.mail@gmail.com I'll see what I can do.

no worries - i wasn't very far into the game yet, so i blew away the plist file, and we're back to default prefs.

thanks, though

I had a similar issue with the input selector.

I deleted both
Library/Preferences/unity.Matthew Brown.Hexcells.plist
and
Library/Saved\ Application\ State/unity.Matthew\ Brown.Hexcells.savedState/

and I was still seeing the updated non-mouse input settings when I restarted Hexcells. I had to reboot the computer to get the default settings to come back.

I erased the plist file but my saved states were gone.
So i edited the plist file with plist edit --> https://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/14363/plistedit-pro, it worked…

Thanks anyway.

I'm having the same problem and I have windows so I can't seem to find this "user/Library/Preferences/unity.Matthew Brown.Hexcells.plist"

.plist is a mac file format and "user/Library…" address is again mac address. i suggest you mail them.

These commands in the terminal should get it back to defaults:

defaults write "unity.Matthew Brown.Hexcells" "__Input Key PosDestroy Empty Hex" "mouse 1"

defaults write "unity.Matthew Brown.Hexcells" "__Input Key PosSelect Blue Hex" "mouse 0"


Alternatively you can run these commands to switch the mouse buttons (to mine sweeper style):

defaults write "unity.Matthew Brown.Hexcells" "__Input Key PosDestroy Empty Hex" "mouse 0"

defaults write "unity.Matthew Brown.Hexcells" "__Input Key PosSelect Blue Hex" "mouse 1"



I was experiencing some crashing after this, force quitting, unplugging any usb mouse and reloading game, and replugging mouse seems to work

Thank you, this is what I was looking for!

Thanks a lot croepha! They should make a sticky post with your instructions.

I agree, this was what I was looking for as well.

This isnt working for me, maybe because the game has been updated. I went to "user/Library/Preferences/unity.Matthew Brown.Hexcells.plist" but pasting
defaults write "unity.Matthew Brown.Hexcells" "__Input Key PosDestroy Empty Hex" "mouse 0"
defaults write "unity.Matthew Brown.Hexcells" "__Input Key PosSelect Blue Hex" "mouse 1"
did not work.

Why has’t this bug been fixed yet? T^T

You have to run those commands in Terminal, putting them in the plist will only make more problems. I was just (as in seconds ago) able to make it work.
