26 ;;; Commentary: | |
27 | |
28 ;;; What is ``mouse-copy.el''? | |
29 ;;; | |
30 ;;; It provides one-click text copy and move. Rather than the | |
31 ;;; standard stroke-out-a-region (down-mouse-1, up-mouse-1) followed | |
32 ;;; by a yank (down-mouse-2, up-mouse-2 or C-y), you can now stroke | |
33 ;;; out a region and have it automatically pasted at the current | |
34 ;;; point. You can also move text just as easily. Although the | |
35 ;;; difference may not sound like much, it does make mousing text | |
36 ;;; around a lot easier, IMHO. | |
37 ;;; | |
38 ;;; If you like mouse-copy, you should also check out mouse-drag | |
39 ;;; for ``one-click scrolling''. | |
40 ;;; | |
41 ;;; To use mouse-copy, place the following in your .emacs file: | |
42 ;;; (require 'mouse-copy) | |
43 ;;; (global-set-key [M-down-mouse-1] 'mouse-drag-secondary-pasting) | |
44 ;;; (global-set-key [M-S-down-mouse-1] 'mouse-drag-secondary-moving) | |
45 ;;; | |
46 ;;; (These definitions override the old binding of M-mouse-1 to | |
47 ;;; mouse-drag-secondary. I find I don't use that command much so its | |
48 ;;; loss is not important, and it can be made up with a M-mouse-1 | |
49 ;;; followed by a M-mouse-3. I personally reserve M-mouse bindings | |
50 ;;; for my window manager and bind everything to C-mouse.) | |
51 ;;; | |
52 ;;; | |
53 ;;; History and related work: | |
54 ;;; | |
55 ;;; One-click copying and moving was inspired by lemacs-19.8. | |
56 ;;; Throw-scrolling was inspired by MacPaint's ``hand'' and by Tk's | |
57 ;;; mouse-2 scrolling. The package mouse-scroll.el by Tom Wurgler | |
58 ;;; <twurgler@goodyear.com> is similar to mouse-drag-throw, but | |
59 ;;; doesn't pass clicks through. | |
60 ;;; | |
61 ;;; These functions have been tested in emacs version 19.30, | |
62 ;;; and this package has run in the past on 19.25-19.29. | |
63 ;;; | |
64 ;;; Originally mouse-copy was part of a larger package. | |
65 ;;; As of 11 July 96 the scrolling functions were split out | |
66 ;;; in preparation for incorporation into (the future) emacs-19.32. | |
67 ;;; | |
68 ;;; | |
69 ;;; Known Bugs: | |
70 ;;; | |
71 ;;; - Highlighting is sub-optimal under 19.29 and XFree86-3.1.1 | |
72 ;;; (see \\[mouse-copy-work-around-drag-bug] for details). | |
73 ;;; - mouse-drag-secondary-pasting and mouse-drag-secondary-moving | |
74 ;;; require X11R5 (or better) and so fail under older versions | |
75 ;;; of Open Windows (like that present in Solaris/x86 2.1). | |
76 ;;; | |
77 ;;; | |
78 ;;; Future plans: | |
79 ;;; | |
80 ;;; I read about the chording features of Plan-9's Acme environment at | |
18027 | 81 ;;; <http://www.zip.com.au/~cs/app/wily/auug.html>. I'd like |
16321 | 82 ;;; to incorporate some of these ideas into mouse-copy. The only |
83 ;;; lose is that this is not the current Emacs Way Of Doing Things, so | |
84 ;;; there would be a learning curve for existing emacs users. | |
85 ;;; | |
86 ;;; | |
87 ;;; Thanks: | |
88 ;;; | |
89 ;;; Thanks to Kai Grossjohann | |
90 ;;; <grossjoh@dusty.informatik.uni-dortmund.de> for reporting bugs, to | |
91 ;;; Tom Wurgler <twurgler@goodyear.com> for reporting bugs and | |
92 ;;; suggesting fixes, and to Joel Graber <jgraber@ti.com> for | |
93 ;;; prompting me to do drag-scrolling and for an initial | |
94 ;;; implementation of horizontal drag-scrolling. | |
