I've written a patchset to bring the menuless mode from Antohy's Nile [1] to Lola. Start in menuless mode with -m, it can also be toggled in the 13 lola menu, the patches are available at
shithub.us/penny/lola/HEAD/info.html This patch enables creating windows by right click and sweeping the desktop, in windows middle click always plumbs and right click always sends. When in Nomenu mode, Lola will apply Nile's scrolling behavior to all windows. That is, windows will always autoscroll if you are at the bottom of the output, but will not if you are scrolled up. In addition, Lola offers a system menu on mouse chord 1->3 and I have added a Nomenu option to this menu to allow toggling Nomenu mode at runtime. No special accommodations were made for tabification, however on certain themes(including simple.c, and the patched win95.c in that repo) you may right click the title bar to yoink a window for tabification and I have found this more than suitable. Changes were made to accommodate lola's system menu, the hidden window menu on the desktop has been moved to mouse 2, and includes the Delete and Hide verbs as I think it makes sense to make them available. The "menuless" notion only really applies to the windows themselves, and the creation thereof. While this patchset is functionality a complete port of Nile's menuless mode to lola, Nile was based on 4th edition which does not offer "look", and therefore that functionality is not currently exposed in menuless operation. I am considering options for integrating it with these patches, including offering a keyboard combination.
