Most likely, yes. And also double-clicks in GEM programs.

Double-click is emulated by mouse middle button. It works fine in fast-forward mode.


Because many interactions still work fine in fast-forward mode, one option is user just disabling fast-forward while doing such interactions.

IMHO one issue is AltGr-X shortcut being a bit awkward for frequent use, but binding such actions to a single key could help. If there are unused keys on user's keyboard (that OS desktop does not reserve), one _can_ rebind shortcuts to them in Hatari options "Keyboard" dialog.

Or if one is more comfortable with mouse interactions, Hatari's Python UI has button for toggling fast-forward. It's also trivial to add buttons for any other shortcuts, as one just specifies them on Python UI command line [1].
