Re: Mouse wheel is now supported in vDos-lfn

[Harry Binswanger hb@xxxxxxxx]

Wengier,

This is a very nice suite.

On my system:
WheelMod 4 puts out scan codes are 2 and 6
WheelMod 5 puts out scan codes 75 and 77
WheelMod 6 puts out 73 and 81
WheelMod 7 puts out17 and 44.

In other words, the Ctrl state is not coming through.

Is there any way to get two-dimensional mouse control? Like a WheelMod that
puts out different things in a shifted state?


I'm using WheelMod 2, which does a LR and LL, so it moves through the text
from line-end to next line-beginning, but that's pretty slow.


Regards,
Harry


I made a cleanup of the mouse wheel feature in the latest vDos-lfn build
(build 2016.08.27). Now the WHEELMOD supports the following:


WHEELMOD=0: Disabled
WHEELMOD=1: Up/Down arrows
WHEELMOD=2: Left/Right arrows
WHEELMOD=3: PgUp/PgDn keys
WHEELMOD=4: Ctrl+Up/Down arrows
WHEELMOD=5: Ctrl+Left/Right arrows
WHEELMOD=6: Ctrl+PgUp/PgDn keys
WHEELMOD=7: Ctrl+W/Z keys (as supported by WordStar and DOS EDIT etc)

P.S. Horizontal scrolling is also supported as before (via the optional
second argument) and the two scrolling methods can be switched at the
run-time with a shortcut.

Hi all,

I have further expanded the mouse wheel scrolling feature to support
mapping to Ctrl+PgUp/PgDn (WHEELMOD=4) and Ctrl+W/Z (WHEELMOD=5).
WHEELMOD=4 seems to work pretty well in XyWrite, while both WHEELMOD=4 and
WHEELMOD=5 appear to work in programs like WordStar and DOS EDIT. The
expanded feature is now supported in the latest build of vDos-lfn, i.e.
build 2016.08.26. Hope this will be useful.

Hi Kari,

When you use the up and down option, I think you can make the scrolling
faster in XyWrite by holding the ALT key. But the PgUp and PgDn option
will cause the scrolling even faster. I have changed the documentation
regarding the WHEELMOD option, which currently says:


Mouse wheel movements can be automatically converted into keyboard presses
in vDos-lfn. By default, the standard vertical scrolling is converted into
up and down arrows, but with the WHEELMOD directive you can customize the
keys. You may optionally also specify a second value if your mouse supports
horizontal scrolling (it's converted into left and right arrows by default).
Note that you can switch the two scrolling methods by pressing the middle
mouse button and either the left or the right mouse button at the same time;
the original behaviors can be restored by pressing the middle mouse button
alone. To customize the converted key presses of the mouse wheel movements:
(0 - disable; 1 - up/down arrows; 2 - left/right arrows; 3 - PgUp/PgDn)

rem WHEELMOD = 1,3

Let me know if you have other comments about this.

Hello Wengier,

This is no big deal but in my case the cursor jumps to the left, text or
no text. I have LU and LD in the keyboard file, keys 72 and 80
respectively. In the numpad 100 and 102, I have paragraph movement
functions. How is this tied to the wheel movement?

By the way, the PgUp and PgDn option is really great. I think I will be
using this.

The documentation should perhaps state that the WHEELMOD option is
enabled by default.
