Date: Mon, 1 Jan 2007 10:55:30 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <5ae4abb1c9261dbdfe9e4828d5620e27@proxima.alt.za> (raw)
I replaced the code in click() with the following to add a half-baked
facility to hide a window with winwatch. It uses the B3-B1 chord, but
somehow loses the ability to pick a window with B3 when the winwatch
window is not active.
void
click(Mouse m)
{
int fd, w, b = m.buttons;
Point xy = m.xy;
char buf[128];
do
m = emouse();
while(m.buttons == b);
while (b) {
for(w = 0; w < nwin; w++)
if(ptinrect(xy, win[w].r))
break;
if(w < nwin) {
sprint(buf, "/dev/wsys/%d/wctl", win[w].n);
switch (b & 7) {
case 1:
break;
case 2:
case 3:
break;
case 4:
case 6:
case 7:
if((fd = open(buf, OWRITE)) < 0)
return;
write(fd, "unhide\n", 7);
write(fd, "top\n", 4);
write(fd, "current\n", 8);
close(fd);
break;
case 5:
if((fd = open(buf, OWRITE)) < 0)
return;
write(fd, "top\n", 4);
write(fd, "hide\n", 7);
close(fd);
break;
}
}
b = m.buttons;
xy = m.xy;
do {
m = emouse();
} while (m.buttons);
}
}
I am a little disappointed as to how complicated it is to implement
mouse functionality. It seems a lot easier to expect the interactive
human to recover from unexpected conditions rather than try to design
the interaction so no condition is unexpected. This is not a
criticism of Plan 9, far from it. It is the realisation that by
putting a computer on every desk we (computer programmer, glorified or
otherwise) have turned computers from convenient slaves to eliminate
tedium to instruments requiring constant human attention.
