* [9fans] acme tag line question @ 2008-02-29 17:29 Rudolf Sykora 2008-02-29 17:40 ` lucio 0 siblings, 1 reply; 4+ messages in thread From: Rudolf Sykora @ 2008-02-29 17:29 UTC (permalink / raw) To: 9fans [-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 825 bytes --] Hello, having open acme window and resizing it, making it smaller, it may happen that parts of tag lines disappear. It seems to me you can no more write anything at the end of those tag lines; more precisely you may, you can move the cursor there, but you don't see anything of what you type, you are as if behind a corner (only after resizing the window back you can see it). Is there any way that the tag lines would horizontally scroll? E.g. after pressing CTRL-e you would really get to its end AND were still able to write & read what you write? Or is it so that if the window is small it is just small and unusable (you can't click on what you type, you can't easily Look for things...)? This may also easily happen when the paths mentioned in tag lines are long enough... Thanks for answers, Ruda [-- Attachment #2: Type: text/html, Size: 851 bytes --] ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread

Moving the mouse vertically while holding down button 1 (basically selecting some text in the tag line) causes horizontal scrolling. A bit counter-intuitive and inadequate, but better than nothing. ++L ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread

I guess I had seen the scrolling sometime by pure chance, long time ago. Then I forgot it completely. Now I know it's possible and even know how to achieve it... It's really a pity that the programs are not well documented... How can one really appreciate the work when he/she is unable to powerfully use it...
