Re: mouse behavior discussion
I would like scrolling by lines. The selection may stay until it reaches the first or last entry and then move down (if we're on the first entry and scroll down) or up (if we're on the last and scroll up). It would be like a ball in a box when moving the box: it tries to stay until it reaches the wall. *8-) David --- On Wed 02/05, Pavel Roskin [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: From: Pavel Roskin [mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED]] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Wed, 05 Feb 2003 02:35:50 -0500 (EST) Subject: Re: mouse behavior discussion Hello, Mike!

Re: mouse behavior discussion
Hello, Mike! I wonder amongst mc-users, what should the mousewheel do in the panels? For your information, mc-users live at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Anyway, your question is relevant here. Right now, for me, it scrolls by a page every time, and moves the selected along with it. This behavior I do not like, and is always the first patch I apply to fresh cvs. I remember that there was an attempt to fix it by allowing the cursor to be off-screen, but I didn't like that patch, so it was dropped. I have two questions: 1. Should mousewheel scroll_by_pages or scroll_by_line? (IMHO that's what that artifact panel_scroll_pages was originally for, although I don't know for sure.) I'm not against scrolling by lines if somebody comes with an idea (better yet - working implementation) how to make it in an intuitive way. panel_scroll_pages only affect the behavior of mc when the scrolling is done by lines and the cursor reaches either boundary of the displayed part of the list. 2. Behavior of panel-selected: In editor the traditional way is to have cursor follow mousewheel to avoid typing in wrong area of file after scrolling with mouse, but in a file listing (in all other file managers I've used), it stays in place while only the listing scrolls. I don't see any question here. The adjustments are simple, but I'm not sure if others like what it does now, and if so, why. There was only one person concerned enough to make a patch, yet the patch was wrong. Older versions, including 4.5.55, don't support mouse scrolling at all, and I don't remember any complaints. Maybe nobody uses mousewheel? They are so common where I live I throw 2 button mice in garbage :) Not everybody uses mouse when working with text interface. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin ___ Mc-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mc-devel
