[Freemint-discuss] Mouse emulation via keyboard

[David G. <dga...@gm...>]

Hello list,

I'm fixing some issues with the mouse emulation through the keyboard,
I've seen that MiNT emulates a double left mouse button click with the
key combination "ALT+SHIFT+INSERT". TOS doesn't implement this. I'm
not sure if this is a good idea because now it's impossible to select
multiple files, you would do this with your mouse left clicking on the
objects while pressing the shift key.

I'm thinking about removing this feature. Now normal double clicking
doesn't work but I've fixed this, so the double click emulation with
the shift key it's not essential.
I was thinking also about using the left shift for one purpose
(multiple file selection) and the right shift for another (double
click emulation), or another option would be when the shift key is
pressed make a short hit of the insert key a normal click and a long
one a double click.

I'm for removing the feature and imitate TOS behavior, I think the
original implementation is good enough and these changes at the end
confuse the user.

What do you think?
