Waypoints not working

I know you're thinking "press q and not spacebar" but I tried both and neither works. Select the token, press q, move the token, press q again, etc. At no point does any path or distance get displayed. X does work to see the straight line distance of the most recent move. For both of them, pressing the key causes the search-in-page bar to appear at the bottom of the browser view (in Firefox) which causes the entire page to go white and then re-render. I can prevent that by pressing ctrl-f (so the search-in-page bar remains displayed instead of going away) or going into the options to disable "search for text when you start typing" (which is a universal setting, not just for the site), so that just seems like you are not properly trapping the event but it's solvable. But none of these things permit waypoints to start working. Is there another fix?
If you have a multi-button mouse you can use right-click to set waypoints.
How? Right-click and drag pans the map. Right-click on the map without dragging opens the context menu.

Sorry, I was not clear: Left-click and hold the token, and right-click in its starting space to set the initial waypoint. Still holding the left button, drag to the first waypoint. Right-click briefly to set waypoint. Still holding the left button, move token to next waypoint. Right-click again. Rinse and repeat. Release the left button at the token's final stop. If you map the token movement this way, X will show the waypoint path. It sounds complicated but it really is easy once you have done it once or twice.
I see. So you have to hold the left-click the entire time, and just briefly tap the right button at each stop (and at the start). If you hold the right button it also pans which is a mess. Now that I've done that, Q is working. Maybe I wasn't holding the left mouse button when I pressed Q before, I just tapped it to select the character? Not certain. At least there are two methods now. Thanks!
Yeah the trick is to hold steady while right-clicking so you don't pan the map view. Glad you got it working.
