It makes sense. Although applications might be binding Shift+Mouse for their own purpose (not expecting X to interfere with their input). I don't care too much which is chosen because I tend to not use the mouse in the terminal, but I think it's worth considering and discussing a bit. >> (Tangentially, a lot of suckless software is designed with dwm in mind >> rather than other window managers.

I think that an entry in config.c is a good idea. Then people can customise based on their terminal manager(s) of choice. Cheers, -- ______________ Raphaël Proust
