One day we will provide a smooth path from here to there, right after I clone myself and everyone else on the team :-) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Racket Users" group.

[racket-users] Miscellaneous bugs/feature requests
I've spent a week or two with 2htdp/universe in preparation for doing a little intro to Racket talk. And...I have a few little things: - DrRacket: is there some way to set a key binding to rename a symbol? It's annoying that I have to switch to the mouse for that. - big-bang: seems to stop sending "leave" events after a while (Windows 7, 64 bit Racket 6.2.1). - big-bang: it would be really nice to be able to hide the mouse cursor. But searching the docs doesn't turn up any reference to this anywhere: the closest thing I found was hide-cursor-until-moved... - big-bang: you can't tell *which* mouse button was pressed/released??!?!! --Josh -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Racket Users" group.
