[9fans] Chording & sam - from the archives

[steve.simon]

For those interested here is a diff from the sam-fans archive to implement mouse
chording,
it is very old and the sam source has probably changed enough to make applying
it a bit of a pain,
but... its free.

I rembember using this and being very impressed, but these days I'am tied to NT
and the
binary only Win sam release.

I've been using Rob's help system under Plan 9 a bit recently and have
become so used to using mouse button chords to cut and paste that
returning to a system where these operations are selected from a menu
or with key presses feels awkward. Hence this patch, which puts this
feature of help into samterm.

For those who haven't seen help, mouse chords work like this: you select
some text by dragging with the left button down, or by double clicking,
as normal. While holding the left button down at the end of the selection
operation you can immediately cut it by clicking the middle button or
paste over it by clicking the right button. Running these two actions
together (i.e. while holding the left button click the middle button
and then the right button) is equivalent to snarf.

Share and enjoy...
