Re: Mouse wheel is now supported in vDos-lfn

[Harry Binswanger hb@xxxxxxxx]

Second thought: forget tilting the wheel, since the mouse has no real
function in XyWrite, and I doubt anyone uses XyWrite's alleged mouse
semi-awareness, how about if just Left Click and Right Click moved the
cursor left and right?

Wengier,

Works perfectly! And because I have use LU and LD, it behaves that way.

My next request is for tilting the mousewheel left or right (for those who
have a mouse that can do that) to move the cursor left and right. I made a
log of what happened when I did the tilts. I did 3 rights then 3 lefts) but
it doesn't look auspicious. I may have also moved the wheel a little up and
down while tilting it.


Come to think of it, I can probable get Autohotkey to take care of this.

Regards,
Harry


Hi Harry,

Great. Please try the new build of vDos-lfn and see how it works.

Wengier,

Glad to. Thanks for looking into this.

The one named HB_UP.LOG is WheelUp only. The one named HB_DOWN_THEN_UP.LOG
is from using two WheelDowns followed by two WheelUps.

I did this with as close to a plain vanilla setup as I could easily get:
turned off Autohotkey and KatMouse.

Harry
