Sig, The thing that caught my attention was keyboard shortcuts, but I mentioned the wheel as an example of something where some deviation from the mainstream might be in order. With the wheel, I frequently find myself expecting the input to follow the mouse cursor. Gnome does what I expect; it scrolls "under the mouse" and yet leaves focus where it was. There's another OS (will remain nameless) that is not quite as clever. However, I would far rather have the wheel input follow focus than suffer with focus following the mouse.

(sorry, if it was already noted in this discussion, i didn't read it fully). VM does not have a mouse wheel events. Instead, it generates ctrl-up / ctrl-down key combinations. I think that this hack is the root of all problems: - if focus doesn't following the mouse, you need additional hacks in image to treat ctrl-up / ctrl-down keys to generate scroll events for morph which is currently under the mouse, not the morph which is currently having an active keyboard input focus. -- Best regards, Igor Stasenko AKA sig. _______________________________________________ Pharo-project mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gforge.inria.fr/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pharo-project _______________________________________________ Pharo-project mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gforge.inria.fr/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pharo-project
