My impression is that the PR was there for 2 days and the subject seems fairly clear... "[Vm-dev] [OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm] remove emulation of single button mouse on Windows and Linux (#362)" so it was open for discussion, but no one cared to comment. Or are you not receiving PR emails and something needs to be looked at there? Does that mean the platforms drift even further apart for event handling? So lets discuss. What are the pros/cons? For me, its purpose to fix Issue #361 seems reasonable... > The Windows and Linux VM are still trying to emulate the right mouse button with Ctrl+LMB for > compatibility with the old Mac emulation of RMB on single-button mouse.

Is the CTRL key currently being swallowed so that a single button mouse can emulate a three button mouse? Where are single button mice being used today? cheers -ben |

Just killing it within 3 days is a bit quick.

My laptop's touchpad only can deliver two mousebuttons reliably… and I've seen other touchpad with only one button tho. Best regards -Tobias |
