Why can't I copy/cut/paste in Linux or Mac?

Unfortunately this is due to a technical limitation. It has been disabled to prevent issues with the Operating System. While a future fix is possible, it is unknown if or when this would happen.

Why can't I favorite or link items? (Alt + Click does not work)

Linux and Mac both use Alt + Click for system interaction. The solution is to change terraria config.json file.

If you are unsure what a specific key is called, open the game and bind it to something else temporarily in the controls menu.



Keep in mind, if you change this key to something used for text chat in game. Attempting to link an item in chat will result in that key being repeated due to holding it down.
