Re: bug in the 'Scroll' command

Excerpt from manpage: If the horizontal and vertical percentages are multiplied by 1000 then scrolling wraps around at the edge of the desktop. If Scroll 10 0 is executed over and over fvwm moves to the next desktop page on each execution and wraps around at the edge of the desktop, so that every page is hit in turn. This example works. But now try, for example, command 'Scroll 5 0'. In this case fvwm should move to the half of the next right desktop page. But as a matter of fact it moves to the extreme right page. So it obviously a bug. Actually, any value smaller than 10 can not wrap anyway because it does not go far enough across the screen edge. But the real reason why values between 1000 and 9 do not wrap is that the code has to cope with values given in pixels, e.g. 1280p. With the current syntax it is not possible to code a properly working Scroll command. Instead we should have additional options to activate wrapping, e.g. Scroll 100 0 wrapx Scroll 200 150 wrapy with values = 10 still triggering wrapping for compatibilty. I've clarified this in the man page for now. Ciao Dominik ^_^ ^_^ -- Dominik Vogt, [EMAIL PROTECTED] signature.asc Description: Digital signature

I wished using these keybindings: Key DownA 4 Scroll 05000 Key Up A 4 Scroll 0-5000 Key LeftA 4 Scroll -50000 Key Right A 4 Scroll 5000 0 to conveniently navigate via pages with small steps and incrementally wrap when I hit the edges of desktop. But it looks with current state of things it is unpossible to do so. Scroll command. Instead we should have additional options to activate wrapping, e.g. Scroll 100 0 wrapx Scroll 200 150 wrapy OK, understood. Hope it will be implemented sometime. I've clarified this in the man page for now. Thanks, now it will not confuse someone else. -- Serge Koksharov, Free Software user supporter GPG public key ID: 0x3D330896 (pgp.mit.edu) Key fingerprint: 5BC4 0475 CB03 6A31 0076 82C2 C240 72F0 3D33 0896
