Hi Cam, Good suggestion; there's actually two features in 'cont grab' combined that could be separated;
- Hiding the mouse, and apply mouse deltas back on mouse pointer location, so you can move button values indefinitely - Wrapping the mouse in editor-boundaries around The first option should preferably only be active for buttons with flexible ranges, that demand dragging mouse outside of button boundaries. -Ton- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ton Roosendaal Blender Foundation t...@blender.org www.blender.org Blender Institute Entrepotdok 57A 1018AD Amsterdam The Netherlands On 4 Apr, 2011, at 5:30, Campbell Barton wrote: > On Sun, Apr 3, 2011 at 4:33 PM, Ton Roosendaal <t...@blender.org> > wrote: >> Hi all, >> >> 1) 2.57 >> >> - Startup.blend changes: discussed were two defaults: >> >> Continuous grab: disable as default factory setting.
