#439 left mouse click will interrupt timeout command

[Roeland Schoukens]

timeout is a built-in Windows command to delay execution for a set amout of time. Pressing a key will interrupt this wait. Eg. to wait half a minute, one would execute

timeout 30

On the standard Command Prompt the wait will be interrupted only by a keypress. This includes pressing shift, but not any other modifiers.

If Console doesn't have focus the wait is also interrupted when left-clicking with the mouse in the console window. Clicking when Console has focus has no effect.

My mouse preferences:

• copy/clear selection: left
• select: shift + left
• paste: middle
• drag window: alt + left
• context menu: right

I'm using Windows 10 (64-bit) and Console 2.00.148

Hi,

Console passes mouse clicks to the Windows console. This allows mouse support in cmdline apps (e.g. vim). Obviously, timeout is reacts to that.

I've stopped supporting Console a few years ago mainly due to the lack of time, so I won't be looking into this anytime soone.

Sorry about that.

Marko.

No problem, a big thank you for developing Console and making it available.
