Thanks for all the work!

Many Mac systems have keyboards without a numpad (Apple Wireless Keyboard, MacBook keyboard) and mouses without a middle mouse button (e.g. "Apple Magic Mouse".) The current input offerings of the application therefore make it very hard (if not impossible) to navigate the interface of ngPlant. For example my trees always root in the middle of the view port and I can't move them down (or the camera up) to better see what I am doing (while I have a numpad on my keyboard I don't have a middle mouse button on my Magic Mouse. 😄 )

I'm not sure if there are alternative ways to navigate the viewport (middle mouse button functionality) or activate the different camera/ perspective options (numpad functionality), but it would be nice to have that (or if they already exists, then they should be documented.)

The "Emulate NumPad" option in the preferences doesn't seem to have any obvious effect on keyboard control (besides + and - all normal keys just produce a "beep").

Perhaps the trees also could "root" more at the bottom of the viewport by default rather than starting out in the centre of the screen.
