[comp.sys.amiga] DMouse suggestion

jwz@spice.cs.cmu.edu (Jamie Zawinski) (06/06/88)

I think it would be cool if DMouse only did it's magic on the WorkBench 
screen.  Because you can't use it with Sculpt 3D.  In Sculpt 3D, 
Hold Left Click Right means "place point", but DMouse intercepts this
as Send to Bottom.  So I have to turn it off before using Sculpt, which is
a pain.

It seems to me to make more sense to only do this stuff on the Workbench
screen, where you won't interfere with other applications.

Funny.  I use them together all the time and my machine doesn't Guru.

Not so; I have been using both since dmouse came out with no problems
whatsoever.  Of course, I specified an alternate modifier (-R0040, for
left-Amiga key) for the right mousebutton push-to-back, to avoid conflicts with
wIconify.  Have you specified a -R for dmouse?  Maybe there is some wierd
interaction between dmouse and wIconify both trying to eat the left-right
click?  I still haven't got a C compiler, so I only know from a few readings of
the RKM, but if both dmouse and wIconify pass the mouseclick events along the
input stream, there may be some wierd contention.  On the other hand, I'm just
intuiting (<--coined) and really don't know what I'm talking about.


Be seeing you...

I have both in my startup-sequence, with no problems at all.  I do
disable Dmouse's window-to-back and window-to-front options, since I'm
used to wKeys.

I have encountered difficulty using DMouse with UEdit -- the CTRL-left mouse
click combo used to load a file from a directory listing will not work.
Can anyone suggest a way of getting around this -- a CLI argument perhaps?
