Reinier,
when using Squeak under AIX via Exceed (a Windows95 X terminal client) the blue button is available by using Ctrl+Left mouse button (red button) Does anyone know if this is the normal behavior under Unix?
Perfectly normal. Here's the relevant snippet of sqXWindow.c:
switch (theEvent->button) { case 1: stButtons= 4; break; case 2: stButtons= 2; break; case 3: stButtons= 1; break; default: ioBeep(); break; }
if (stButtons == 4) /* red button honours the modifiers */ { if (theEvent->state & MOD_CONTROL) stButtons= 2; /* yellow button if CTRL down */ else if (theEvent->state & MOD_META) stButtons= 1; /* blue button if META down */ }
(theEvent is an XButtonEvent, and X numbers the buttons from left-to-right starting at 1. Squeak has a separate bit for each button, with the rightmost button in the least significant bit.)
Regards,
Ian
