Oh yes... the time when computers are fast enough for me _not_ to care accidentially opening a document by (single-)clicking somewhere is *still* far away... so what's the obsession with single-clicking-sitting-on-a-bomb which launches something that takes forever (> 1.5 sec) to load (think openoffice, ...). > He also mentions the mouse gestures for navigation (humm, I > >>didn't know that myself!), but that sounds rather positive. > >> > >> > > > >Mouse gestures?

Sigh.. I don't get it why apps use the middle mouse button for mouse gestures... by far the most widely used mouse is 2 buttons + wheel (the latter doubles as "middle" mouse button when you hold really still). Holding the wheel while moving the mouse (and not moving the wheel) is really hard ... Having a 5 button mouse, I don't need gestures that much, but... what's the deal with that? I know that using the right mouse button somewhat clashes with the popup menu when you use the popup menu in a hold-mouse-button-down-move-to-menu-item-then-release-mouse-button way (which I like), but even breaking that would be better than wheel magic... cheers, Danny _______________________________________________ Thunar-dev mailing list Thunar-dev@xfce.org http://foo-projects.org/mailman/listinfo/thunar-dev
