Cross-posted to Pharo dev, Squeak dev, and Squeak VM lists (but Pharo list rejected so I am reposting there separately)...
Recently, we discovered on the Pharo dev list that the key combination used to fake wheel events - ctrl + arrowKey - may be a bit too simple. Apparently ctrl+horizontalArrowKey is a standard in-use combo in Linux and Windows, so adding horizontal wheel events broke some users' workflows. So I propose "ctrl + alt + shift + cmd + arrowKey". The new combo is: very unlikely to be typed backward-compatible with existing Pharo and Squeak images, which only checks that either cmd or ctrl is pressed frees up ctrl + arrow for our Linux/Windows friends For Pharo, there is: https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo-vm/pull/72 Fogbugz Issue 15209: "Mouse Wheel Events Keyboard Clash", with a slice all ready on the image side once the VM patch is integrated. NB: I changed the combo in the VM for Mac OS and OSX. Are these the only two platforms that fake wheel events? I searched a bit but didn't see similar logic for other platforms... ----- Cheers, Sean -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Unique-Mouse-Wheel-Events-tp4814475.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Developers mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
