<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>First, thanks to Ned for helping me get my wheel
mouse buttons sorta inline. (I like the "left-handed" button setup, which
can't be done simply by using Prefs.) My wheel-click still isn't "Blue
button," which I'd like, but...the larger issue is this:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Isn't it time we sent the 3-button mouse idea to
the dustbin?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Although I'll grant that Mac Squeakers are single
buttoners, most of the computing world today uses two-button mice (or wheel
mice).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Why not make double-click mean "blue button
click"? Or, at the very least, allow a double-click to mean either red,
yellow or blue, at the user's option? Double-click is noticeably absent
from the Squeak UI -- does double-clicking postdate the development of
Smalltalk? Is that why it's absent?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>As I noodled around tying to fix my own settings, I
found "swap buttons" in Prefs and also the VM "Mouse Mappings" 1 or 3 button
settings. Oddly, Mouse Mappings lets you choose 1 or 3 or neither or both
or any other combination. And those settings determine how the Prefs "swap
button" item works. Below that, in the source, lots of bit-twiddling and, under
all, a primitive.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>So mouse mapping could, at the very least, be
rolled together and made more understandable to the average user.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>If I were less of a Newbie, I'd astound you all
with my programming prowness and do it myself. Maybe next week (year?
:-)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>But...double-click for halos? I think it's a
great idea.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>regards,</FONT></DIV>
