Re: [9fans] Terminal possibliities...

As Chris indicated, the keyboard modifiers let you simulate buttons 2 or 3. The remaining issue is the chording combinations, selecting with 1 and then clicking 2 (cut) or 3 (paste), or having some copied text and using 2-1 to execute with args. The patch I mentioned helps with those, letting

Re: [9fans] Terminal possibliities...

I believe that it is documented somewhere on Russ Cox’s website or on plan9port. Basically, you can hold down the ctrl or alt keys while clicking/dragging to simulate the same action with the middle or right mouse button. I think that chording is possible too by holding down both ctrl and alt

Re: [9fans] Terminal possibliities...

Is there any interest in putting these p9port style keyboard modifiers into p9bl or 9front? It might be a good backup for when I don’t have a true three button mouse kicking around. Chris > > Since I'm on a macbook with a one-button touchpad I end up using > the keyboard modifiers plus the

i'm sure that touchpad will suck for chording.

i don't see a mouse in this keyboard. the keys have non-standard size and i'm sure it sucks to type on it. also once you add up the size of the pi, the pi case, the cables (dvi-hdmi, mini-dvi-hdmi, dp-hdmi and vga-hdmi adaptors) and the keyboard you're arriving at thinkpad dimensions anyway. I

It's not the bandwidth, it's the latency. I have been playing around with this for a few weeks now. I have it working on T60 that has the kernel, 9fat and a cfs partition locally with the root on a vps 80ms away. There are pros and cons vs drawterm to the same machine. Things that I have not

I have a Pi at work and a dual atom file/cpu/auth/etc server at home. it works well, it takes a few seconds to authenticate but is quick once you are connected. I boot from the pi's flash so I don't really have a terminal but I keep almost nothing in the Pi. -Steve > On 30 Sep 2016, at

Re: [9fans] Terminal possibliities...

Yeah, and and I wonder how the little Raspberry Pi compares to hardware that was being used for terminals back in the late 90s. It's certainly got more memory and local storage available than many personal computers, though I imagine the i/o bus is slower. Digging around in my email I found this

It would be interesting to hear how this works out in practice. The bandwidth requirement is probably so low compared to typical traffic from a hotel, compared even to smart phones. > On Sep 30, 2016, at 3:49 PM, James A. Robinson wrote: > > Is anyone here using Plan 9
