Hyperbole User Manual

B.1 Smart Mouse Keys

Smart Key drags and modeline presses can only be used when running under a window system with mouse key support. So keep in mind that the operations in this section apply only if you have mouse support within Hyperbole. The Smart Key operations in, B.2 Smart Keyboard Keys, apply to both mouse and keyboard Smart Key usage.

If dragged from a side-by-side window edge or from the immediate left of a vertical scroll bar: ACTION or ASSIST Resizes adjacent window sides to the point of drag release.

If dragged from inside one window to another: ACTION Creates a new link button at the drag start location, linked to the drag end location. If drag start position is within a button, modifies the button to link to drag end location. ASSIST Swaps buffers in the two windows.

If dragged horizontally within a single window while depressed (hmouse-x-drag-sensitivity sets the minimal horizontal movement which registers a drag): ACTION Goes to buffer end if drag was to the right, otherwise goes to beginning. ASSIST Splits window vertically if drag was to the right, otherwise deletes window.

If depressed within a window mode line: ACTION (1) clicked on left edge of a window's modeline, window's buffer is buried (placed at bottom of buffer list); (2) clicked on right edge of a window's modeline, the Info buffer is displayed, or if already displayed and the modeline clicked belongs to a window displaying Info, the Info buffer is hidden; (3) clicked anywhere in the middle of a window's modeline, the functions listed in 'assist-key-modeline-hook' are called; (4) dragged vertically from modeline to within a window, the modeline is moved to point of key release, thereby resizing its window and potentially its vertical neighbors. ASSIST (1) clicked on left edge of a window's modeline, bottom buffer in buffer list is unburied and placed in window; (2) clicked on right edge of a window's modeline, the summary of Smart Key behavior is displayed, or if already displayed and the modeline clicked belongs to a window displaying the summary, the summary buffer is hidden; (3) clicked anywhere in the middle of a window's modeline, a popup menu (if available) is displayed; (4) dragged vertically from modeline to within a window, the modeline is moved to point of key release, thereby resizing its window and potentially its vertical neighbors.

If dragged vertically within a single window while depressed (hmouse-y-drag-sensitivity sets the minimal vertical movement which registers a drag): ACTION or ASSIST Splits current window into two side-by-side windows.

If dragged diagonally within a single window while depressed (hmouse-x-diagonal-sensitivity and hmouse-y-diagonal-sensitivity set the minimal diagonal movement which registers a drag): ACTION Save current window configuration onto a ring of window configurations. ASSIST Restores prior window configuration from ring. A prefix argument N specifies the Nth prior configuration from the ring.
