I have been working on fixing up Textmode IDE and some related packages
(Free Vision, rtl-console) One of the recent large improvement is
scrolling by mouse. I am happy how it turned out.
I tested the changes, works really well :-)
Currently mouse scroll
events are going under evMouseDown. But it does have some unwanted side
effects in existing code. Mouse click triggered by scrolling. For FV and
IDE I have fixed most of them. Maybe to add new mouse event type just for
scrolling events (evMouseWheel as it is done in
https://github.com/magiblot/tvision )?
I think this new mouse event type is a good idea.
It would go a long way to support
existing code base. Even thou mouse scrolling was introduced in 3.2.0 but
limited only for Unix/Linux systems and its usage might be minimal. More
or less I am looking for an approval and necessary changes I am ready to
implement. In this context the true question is: am I allowed to look
around and get inspiration (or copy) of other open source projects?
Earlier mentioned Turbo Vision (in C++) project has MIT license and a lot
of great ideas implemented. Do I go as far and make identical variable
and function naming and use the same implementation details? Direct
translation is not possible and I am not looking for that.
I would implement as you see fit, but add a reference in the header:
{
Feature XYZ inspired by implementation in
https://github.com/magiblot/tvision/XYZ
}
This way you give due credit to the original author.
Michael.
