Hi, A little technical query provoked by someone else's question, which I was unable to answer.
Say one wanted to add a global mouse shortcut, for example, double middle-click to do "zoom-to-fit" [1]. The current mouse events are handled on a contextual basis in the event loops for each tool. Thus, each tool handles its own clicks, drags, etc, which generally makes sense for the basic left/right clicks as what that does is usually highly tool-dependent. Global key shortcuts for ACTIONs are handled at a higher level and and either trigger a transition set by setTransitions(), or translated to an event and caught by the current tool's event loop as their own event (checked with evt->IsAction()) However, there appears to be no way to add a mouse click pattern to an ACTION, thus you can't have a global double-middle-click, unless you add an "if( evt->IsDblClick( BTN_MIDDLE))" to every event loop. What would be the right way (if any) to approach this? I'm ignoring for now the UI implications of presenting such a shortcut in the hotkey dialog, implementing the "set hotkey" action, and any problems that might arise in having it co-exist with legacy hotkeys.
