I am having a look at mouse business right now. I must say that this is a
mess and that we do basically everything different from other apps. The
main problem is that we do most things at mouse press time instead of mouse
release time like everyone else.
dont know how much this is related with mouse-press bussiness but this
bug http://bugzilla.lyx.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3861 really sucks for a long time.
I might work a bit on that and solve the above issue at the same time.
One question to everybody: how do I now that I am starting a new selection?
My problem is as follow:
1) select some text
2) move the mouse somewhere else outside the selected area.
3) left-click to start a new selection
I have to detect that the previous selection is finished so it can be
cleared.
i dont understand. isnt the finishing of selection via mouse recognizable via
releasing button?
Sure I can put a flag there "selection complete" but I wanted to know if
something like this exists already in Cursor. I am always lost with this
selection business...
With current trunk this is no problem as the selection was cleared
at mouse press in any case; but I would like to move this decision at mouse
release or mouse motion time.
i see we are selecting also when right button is pushed. why?
Because up to now, right button was pretty much mapped to left button
(and this has always annoyed me).
lets have the
right button for menu and left for selecting.
Right.
