[Mac] control modifier pressed during left-mouse drag is erroneously converted to right-mouse move without control modifier about vstgui HOT 3 CLOSED

Will your patch work also for the case that you start with a ctrl-click and then move the mouse and release the ctrl modifier in between and you still get a right mouse move? I don't think so.
I think NSViewFrame needs to remember the initial mouse down state and use that for move messages, or?

That's a good point and I think you're right that it won't cover that. Admittedly in my own code, I reserve right-click for contextual menus (as is typical Mac behavior, but not universal), and so mouse tracking beyond the click is left to the OS so it doesn't matter. But you're right that it wouldn't work as expected if someone wanted to continue tracking a right-click in VSTGUI. So yeah, NSViewFrame would need to essential hold state that persists a mapping of that left-click+control to right-click for the lifetime of the click-hold, and allow the control key to function independently of that upon being released during that click-hold lifespan.

Would you like me to take a stab at a patch that does that?

I think I will do this myself as I see an opportunity to refactor a little bit in this area. But thanks for the offer.
