Gordon, I'm referring to how sighted people use a mouse. I have enough
residual sight to, at times, and in the right lighting, with the right
magnification, be able to track the mouse movement on screen. I want to know
the basic mouse button use so I can give it a try. I've never had a decent
enough monitor to bother with the mouse. Now, with the iMac 21 inch screen
right up to my nose I think I might be able to get some additional
accessibility via the mouse.
As I said, I assume:
1) selecting is done by holding the left mouse button and dragging across
the desired selection area, then releasing when done selecting.
2) selecting noncontiguous items is done by control left clicking the mouse
on the individual items to be selected.
3) Drag n' Drop is accomplished by left button down and hold on an item
while dragging to the desired drop point and releasing the left button.
Have I got it right?

I have a little residual sight, and with the great monitor on the iMac and
the right contrast I can sometimes track the mouse pointer. I'd like to
know, what it means to:
1) select multiple items with the mouse.
I know that clicking the left mouse button is synonamous with VO shift
spacebar. How would I (or a sighted person) select multiple adjacent or
non-adjacent items? Does one hold down the left button and drag across the
items? And, if the items aren't adjacent to each other, does one Control
left-click each item?
2) how about drag and drop? is that done by holding down the right mouse
button and releasing it on the spot to drop?
Thanks
