Mouse On DECwindows, you can use the mouse to perform editing operations instead of having to type commands or press defined keys: Mouse keys Uses or effects ---------------------------------------------------------------------- M1 * Choose pull-down menus (File, Edit, Search, and so on). * Select text (see usage notes below). * Use vertical or horizontal scroll bars. * Change the input focus or cursor position. * Toggle settings using status line indicators. * Get help on widgets---see help on Context Sensitive Help. M2 Copy or move text between EVE and other DECwindows applications or within EVE---see help on Quick Copy. M3 Display a pop-up menu---see help on Menus. Usage notes: o In the main window (or work area), clicking or dragging M1 repositions the cursor and selects text as follows (see help on SELECT): 1 Click ...... Cancels a selection, and repositions the cursor. 2 Clicks ..... Selects all of the word the pointer is on. 3 Clicks ..... Selects all of the line the pointer is on. 4 Clicks ..... Selects all of the paragraph the pointer is on. 5 Clicks ..... Selects all of the buffer (same as SELECT ALL). Drag ......... Selects text, starting where you press M1 and ending where you release M1. Shift/Drag ... Extends or shrinks a selection. o You cannot define unmodified M1 buttons. However, you can define the downstroke, upstroke, clicks, and drag of other mouse buttons as separate keys. If you press a mouse button you defined, EVE first moves the cursor to where you are pointing---see help on Position Cursor--- and then executes the key definition. For example, the following commands define the downstroke (press) of GOLD/M2 as PASTE and the upstroke (release) as FILL: Command: DEFINE KEY= gold/m2down paste Command: DEFINE KEY= gold/m2up fill Thus, when you press and release GOLD/M2, EVE first moves the cursor to where you are pointing, pastes the text you last cut or copied, and then fills the paragraph that the cursor is in. o Undefined mouse buttons work like M1. For example, GOLD-M2CLICK1 is the same as clicking M1, and GOLD-M2DRAG is the same as dragging M1.
