Unable to select several grids rows on Mac [5.2.1]

The "grids" are essential data representation way in the Admin Console of In-Portal:

There is system-wide setting called "Sticky Grid Selection", that works like this:

• when enabled: selecting another row won't remove selection from all previously selected rows - allow to cherry-pick grid rows for editing/removal for example
• when disabled: selecting another row will remove selection from all previously selected dows - to simplify workflow for users, that usually need to edit one record only

It's also possible to use modifier keys:

• doing Shift+Click will select all rows between last selected and clicked one (range selection)
• doing Ctrl+Click will toggle selection of individual rows to allow for example deselect several rows in selected range

This all sounds just fine, when you're on Windows/Linux, but on Mac the Ctrl+Click shortcut emulates right mouse button click and context menu of the browser shows.

Solution

Detect user operating system (make sure to use modern OS detection code) and if it's Mac, then use Command key instead of Ctrl in all cases.
