8: The Mouse |
 |
Electric supports a number of different mouse
configurations on different platforms.
It presumes that Macintosh mice have 1-button, PC mice have 2, and UNIX mice have
2 or 3 (only 2 are used).
In addition, it allows different keys to be combined with the clicks for advanced
functions.
To simplify this manual, each of the different
mouse commands is given a name.
The table below shows the actual button and key
combinations for each named mouse command.
For example, the selection button is used
to highlight objects on the display.
On systems with 1-button mice (i.e. Macintosh),
the selection button is a plain click of
the button, but on systems with two or three buttons,
the selection button is the left button.
Here are a list of all mouse commands and their button/keyboard combinations:
