[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] geomview mouse functions for NeXT and SGI
Tamara, Dan, and I discussed how to resolve the differences in mouse model between SGI and NeXTSTEP for the purposes of Geomview. Here is what we came up with. The SGI version of Geomview uses mouse buttons and modifier keys as follows: Left main function for mode Middle variant function for mode Right picking Shift "slow" version of function NOTE: The SGI version should *not* usurp any additional modifier keys in the future. The NeXTSTEP version will offer *two* ways to access the same set of function variations. The first column indicates NeXT-style modifiers, which are pressed in combination with the major mouse button (could be either left or right according to user preference). The second column is intended for SGI refugees: --- major button main function for mode Alternate both buttons variant function for mode Control minor button picking Shift Shift "slow" version of function NOTE: Shift may be combined with the other modifiers; Alternate and Control don't mix (this combination actually triggers context-sensitive Help). There is a possibility that Alternate should be replaced by Command, in order to work better with the NS/Intel keyboard layout. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul Burchard <burchard at geom.umn.edu> ``I'm still learning how to count backwards from infinity...'' --------------------------------------------------------------------
