I took some time to think a bit more about mouse support. The current implementation is an on/off switch. If on, it inhibits default mouse behavior: text selection (X and gpm) Moreover there have been discussion about wheel support because this is a feature which can be enabled in X for most virtual terminals. (makes wheel up emulate arrow-up key press) But abook/ncurses's wheel handling is a very useful in the context of the linux console [from a very quick look, gpm does not natively handle wheel events]
So let me expose the idea: `set use_mouse=<key-modifier>` If key-modifier is a valid key modifier, then mouse events are treated by abook as long as they are combined with the key-modifier. To be honnest I don't know if ncurses supports that, but this was the only option I could come up to grab the best of both worlds without having the switch abookrc mouse support on/off according to circumstances. I don't know if Thorsten could be interested in this change and if not I could give a try myself, but I felt it would be better to gather opinions first. regards ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Master Visual Studio, SharePoint, SQL, ASP.NET, C# 2012, HTML5, CSS, MVC, Windows 8 Apps, JavaScript and much more.
