draylax Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 I search already for 'pointer',no results. So I have post question. OpenCore Misc>PickerAttributes:OC_ATTR_USE_POINTER_CONTROL It says 'when available'. How is possible to 'make available' this pointer. ie: what is needed to make the pointer work in picker? My Opencore 0.7.2, there is no pointer, I have 'Built In' selected. I ask because the 'Restart' and 'Shutdown' text on Picker cannot be selected with keyboard, 'R' or 'S' key not activate it. So I must be assuming both 'Restart' and 'Shutdown' text is a button, that only can be selected with mouse click?? Dunno, I try go into OpenShell.efi, type in 'shutdown -h now' or r'eboot' but it not recognise these commands. ======================================================== Probably get in trouble for mix questions, but my OpenCore list have Windows at top, is possible put the M$ RetardOS lower and below macOS so macOS is top? danke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably get in trouble for mix questions, but my OpenCore list have Windows at top, is possible put the M$ RetardOS lower and below macOS so macOS is top? Please complete your signature (user >> profile), we need to know your hardware to help you. 'when available' means when OpenCore detects a mouse. In most cases it is automatically detected. You must have Picker Mode as External (not Built In) if you want to have pointer. But then you must have OpenCanopy.efi driver and a valid Resources folder (you can download this from Acidanthera). You can reach 'Restart' and 'Shutdown' buttons by keyboard (TAB key) or mouse. Set Picker Attributes as 144 if it doesn't have this value. OpenShell.efi only accepts EFI commands, this is a short list of EFI shell commands: cd - Update/view the current directory cls - Clear the standard output date - Display the current date or set the date of the system devices - Display devices managed by EFI drivers devtree - Display tree of devices dir - Display a list of files and subdirectories in a directory drivers - Display list of drivers edit - Edit an ASCII or UNICODE file in full screen exit - Exit EFI Shell environment ls - Display a list of files and subdirectories in a directory map - Map shortname to device path mkdir - Create one or more directories pci - Display PCI devices rm - Delete one or more files/directories touch - Update time of file/directory with current time type - Display the contents of a file ver - Display the version information. Remember fill in your signature. You can upload your config.plist file so we can see it. Edited August 9, 2021 by miliuco 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
draylax Posted August 10, 2021 Author Share Posted August 10, 2021 Thanks for the above info miliuco, very useful, I'll use Tab to the Restart/Shutdown, that works fine, so not wanna make it more complicated. Thanks also for the OpenShell.EFI command, that'll be handy. Added build components in signature now, maybe is useful. Thanks again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mouse: If not on Mac hardware, load one or other of the two mouse drivers in OC/Drivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
