Subject: [9fans] Wrong email address in patch
Date: Mon, 23 Feb 2009 14:39:56 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <a81fe9be0902230539m50fc7c16p36955ed773941c73@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
I submitted a patch for acme this morning, wheel-chording, and I'm
sorry but I wrote the wrong email address, is there any way I could
change it? My system time was also wrong. (This is my first patch and,
I promise, the last one I submit before breakfast...)
I should also have written in the description that I'm not sure this
patch will work for you, I sent it to Russ some time ago, when I had
tested it only in plan9port's acme, and this was his response:
2008/3/19, Russ Cox <rsc@swtch.com>:
i don't think this is a good idea, for two reasons.
the first is that pushing most mouse wheels down
emits a middle button click already (at least on the
microsoft and logitech mice). the second is more
fundamental: wheel mice don't send up/down events
for the scroll wheel like they do for normal buttons,
so it doesn't work to treat those button bits the
same way as a normal button. with your code,
if i highlight and then push the scroll wheel more
than one click, it will cut and then scroll. that's
pretty weird.
do you have a mouse without a clickable scroll wheel?
russ
I have been using the patch in 9vx.Linux (and plan9ports's acme) with
different mouses and it has worked so far without any problem, YMMV. I
find it more comfortable in general and very convenient to chord with
touchpads, where many times you have a wheel, but not a middle button.
Regards,
