Hi
there,
this is silly but I've took a
look in the man pages of squeak and squeakvm in linux and a look into the
preferences but I'm unable to make work the right click of the mouse to behave
the same as in windows.
Ofcourse Ctrl-leftclick works just
fine but as I have to switch between working on squeak over windows and linux I
want the same usability in the image over any OS (this case just DOS and linux).
Any clue?
thanks,
|

That did it

I use
both Linux and Windows with the same image. Have had to hack the point at which
the preference is applied to save hassle. Perhaps the Linux VM could be brought
into line?

On Linux I always swap mouse buttons, unless maybe the image is just a quick VMMaker image. No idea why it is different on different platforms > How many other people do this?

Set the 3-button mouse preference for the Windows VM to make it conform to the right mouse button order. The wrong order was made default in the days when Windows mice lacked one button and only had two. Nowadays they have three or more, so this pref should be made the default. > Perhaps the Linux VM could be brought into line? To make the Linux VM use the wrong ordering too, just add "-vm- display-X11 -swapbtn" to your command line. Or set SQUEAK_SWAPBTN in your environment. And just for completeness, to make the Mac VM use the wrong order edit the VM's info.plist file. - Bert - |

It's not possible to swap the preference by default because Windows users will start complaining :-). -- Damien Cassou |

Does that mean there is a well-defined "right" and "wrong" order? I assumed the correct behavior was: left-click for select right-click for context menu middle-click for the halos This is the MVC behavior (iirc, MVC treated right-click and middle-click the same), and the behavior of every other program I have used. Halo's are a concept unique to squeak, and so should use the under-used middle button I always swapped mouse buttons in linux even before I found out that this was the default order in windows (used squeak in linux first) -- Matthew Fulmer -- http://mtfulmer.wordpress.com/ Help improve Squeak Documentation: http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/808 |

Plainly people need the choice still, which is what we have.
Perhaps the VM option for 3 button mouse could be default for Win32 to help. Thanks for the VM option tip.
