[comp.windows.x] Xterm in X11R3

rlk@THINK.COM (Robert L. Krawitz) (11/04/88)

Is there any way to turn OFF the unshifted mouse behavior?  I do NOT
want the unshifted mouse to cut and paste -- it's too easy to make a
mistake!

Also, if I do accidentally push the mouse button, how do I abort?  It
seems that once I click the mouse button, I'm committed to the
cut/paste operation!  This is extremely unfriendly!  I don't like
accidental mouse clicks to trash me!

The R3 xterm uses the translation manager specifically to allow rebinding of
keys and buttons.  Look at the defaultTranslations[] array in charproc.c, the
Xt documentation on specifying translations, and the xterm man page. 

It will probably take a little bit of playing with to get it the way you
want it.
