Re: Wheelmod

[Harry Binswanger hb@xxxxxxxx]

Wengier,
I figured out the meaning of the different WHEELMOD settings. As you
probably know, they designate keystrokes, defined by scan codes, so by
modifying Xy's .KBD file, you can get it to put out whatever you want.
BTW setting 5 isn't faster, it goes word by word (function NW or PW) rather
than character by character (function LR or LL).
The only issue I have now is that tilting the wheel seems to put out key up
and key down signals much much slower than rolling the wheel does, even if
I set them both to put out the character "a".
This seems to be something about the mouse's hardware or software, since I
get almost the same slowness (slightly better) out of XyWrite when I assign
"a" to WheelRight in AutoHotkey.
The good news is that by a combination of settings, I'm able to use the
mouse to click on a character in text and have the XyWrite cursor go there.
This is a big win.

If anyone else is interested:
in the keyboard file, set:
KEYS=105
In TABLE=  [i.e., the unshifted table], set
105=MS

in config.txt for vDosPlus, set
Mouse=ON

Regards,
Harry
Hi Harry,
I think you can try with a different WHEELMOD setting. For example,
WHEELMOD=5 is faster than WHEELMOD=2, and WHEELMOD=6 is slower than
WHEELMOD=3, at least on my computer. Hope this helps.

Wengier,

LOGNULL NowTransReader::ReadIt() JJFileMT::Truncate(0) issue: if I have
WHEELMOD set to 2,3 I get nice cursor movement
left and right when I roll the wheel up and down, and nice movement up and
down when I *tilt* the mouse wheel left or right.

Since these assignments are counter-intuitive (wheel up should move cursor
up, tilt right should move cursor right, etc.), I tried switching WHEELMOD
to 3,2. That does make the assignment what it intuitively should be, but
the speeds are then wrong: up and down races and right to left crawls.

Is there some way to set the speed of each?

Don't spend more than 2 minutes on this; not important.
