Double- and triple-clicking are in a number of Sugar activities now, with no explanation. Triple-click usually selects a whole line or a whole paragraph. Many adults are unaware that this function is available in their word processors or e-mail editors. For more on such issues, see http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/The_Undiscoverable > We already use modifier keys in the interface to switch to an advanced > behavior. Why not the usual shift and ctrl clicks? I don't mind which mouse behavior you use, as long as you provide a way to discover it. For example, you can put the action in a menu item along with a hint giving the keyboard shortcut. For example, Firefox puts this on the Edit menu along with many others. Undo Ctrl+Z This is not strictly correct, since this notation sometimes means Shift+Ctrl+z. The actual shortcut for Undo in many programs is Ctrl+z. The most common shortcut for Select All is Ctrl+a. > -walter >> iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJLkj20AAoJELpz82VMF3DaiC4H/06TUXkgVNTGQBbo9GCbpABB >> fpnTp6s2bsSikltUXLlhNiNyWFrxPnbW8kdYpVWIasEKY7RxacnRA7eLjjdmDNIm >> 2XKL0KeP53VVsZe1xk9A1s9OMOJ7errQ2p87c/pXIuHMEhM2bxwtG0cbaC7tnIT1 >> dkmSiCW3rRXAg8kFJPDa4Yc6T+MoeissRCO1+oa0qqbZq7yhytPrT81X4P7f9m+d >> Pd74VcSf8j9Y9HrqPmCUVQfn9UYGnBTt2FOrrVkEy2boiebjy4b5QNiCS+HDCSjn >> BBzzDZCfBraATcykI0/qj0U0rusCRb6oBUg5pUEf+2A5wINiM1RYBWCVAy/1Ibg= >> =XUwk >> -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- >> >> _______________________________________________ >> Sugar-devel mailing list >> Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org >> http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel >> >> > > > > -- > Walter Bender > Sugar Labs > http://www.sugarlabs.org > _______________________________________________ > Sugar-devel mailing list > Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org > http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel > -- Edward Mokurai (默雷/धर्ममेघशब्दगर्ज/دھرممیگھشبدگر ج) Cherlin Silent Thunder is my name, and Children are my nation.
