Re: [9fans] Plan9 in VirtualBox mouse keys 2 3 are reversed?
To get around this I (and at least a few other people) draw term into virtualbox (this way you get clipboard and host filesystem sharing too) drawterm uses the modifier keys as mouse buttons so you get chording and everything! To serve cpu from plan9 in virtual box see draw term to your terminal on the plan9 wiki. On Jul 18, 2012, at 9:58 AM, kalara...@gmail.com wrote: Hello everyone! I've been lurking around comp.os.plan9, and around plan9 itself inside of VirtualBox on my Mac. The issue though is that while Mouse 1 works fine, Mouse3 is fired when I make a regular right click on my trackpad (i.e., two finger touch on the trackpad) and Mouse2 is fired when I do Shift-Right click (i.e., Shift wo finger touch). Any ideas? I can't really do any Mouse key chords as described in the acme manual either... maybe I should just get a really mouse? Thanks everyone!
Re: [9fans] Show/edit acme snarf buffer
Brian Vito brian.v...@gmail.com wrote: Using either/both acme under Plan 9 and/or Mac OS X via plan9port, is there a file that can be opened in acme that displays the current contents of the acme snarf buffer? If so, is there a way to have that window automatically update when the snarf buffer changes? Basically, I'm wondering if there is a way to duplicate the functionality that was generally present in old Macintosh text editors under the show clipboard command. Finally, if this functionality is available, would it be possible that by editing the snarf buffer window to edit the contents of the snarf buffer itself (as was possible in Nisus's old editor QUED/M)? isn't there a snarf file in the filesystem served bu rio? -- --Sent from my iphone
Re: [9fans] Mini PCs
Another pretty good mini pc IMHO is the amazon kindle touch. Leetspete from #inferno helped me get inferno on it (and the graphics will probably work once I get twm on it too) it's supper cheap (the ad supported one costs 75 bucks!) and has a ridicules battery life. The firmware is also open source and there is a tool that let's you boot arbitrary images over usb on it :). I plan to give porting plan9 to that a shot at some point (in my free time :S) --Stephen Wiley swwi...@gmail.com

I can see their use with a primitive OS, but given ed and a shell with loops... well I'd like to see what remains easier in a multi-file editor. -- This is obviously some strange usage of the word simple that I was previously unaware of. One thing that I can see is that the 40 billion windows you open are all grouped together and don't get in your way when using other apps. (One of the things I like about osx is that it does that with all the apps) Though I guess you could script rio to group things with similar labels together...

Re: [9fans] Plan 9 keyboard and mouse
On Apr 24, 2012, at 5:30 AM, Yaroslav wrote: I have a question about keyboard and mouse interaction in the OS that relates to fast keys available for the windows. Do any exist for use of say windows switching, closing or any other operations for menus within plan 9? The fast keys are mouse buttons, that's it. Just take it: once you get used to it you'll feel allright about this. I believe sl wrote a program that lets you group windows onto function keys (so pushing the function key for a window group will cycle through the windows) that's not part of the main distribution though. If your having trouble with windows getting buried, winwatch will list open windows and let you switch between them with the mouse (this was an issue I had when I first started playing with plan9).
Re: [9fans] nice terminal...
I've been thinking about this for a while as well (I don't have one yet though... so I haven't gone far beyond thinking) On Mar 20, 2012, at 1:32 PM, Calvin Morrison wrote: 1. Broadcom drivers that are more locked down than Mr. Manson. There is a RiscOS port, perhaps that has something... 2. The boot process is insanely weird. It's boots by bootstrapping the GPU or something crazy. Perhaps we could port 9load to RiscOS? (like the pc version on dos) It sounds like a simple cooperative multitasking os, but I'm no expert. I'm hoping to mess with this when mine ships (again, supposedly in may).
