Then you could make your midi connections ones, they will be stored, and you didn't need to take the mouse with you, but can use the midi device for controlling.
I guess the only thing witch is common right now, is that the left click will grep the controller and make it follow the mouse. But, as a first step, we could possible find a agreement about witch controller key will introduce the "fine settings mode", as far I see we have "control" or "shift". I will be cool if we could get a agreement witch one is to use. Then, if we found a agreement, we could make the next step and talk about right/middle click. I guess we cant manage all in one run. regards hermann _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-dev
