Re: [seq24-users] some code changes for seq24: different mouse input ... MidiClock start/stop ... win32 code

[Kevin M. <ke...@su...>]

you're right.  but that's a lot more work.   i wont commit to going that
far.  but i'll keep it in mind. :)

your suggestion is awesome/useful and I've thought about it myself in the
past....

I'll need to think about whether I put more work into supporting multiple
interaction methods (continue the work splitting my new  interaction method
with the old seq24 method)  vs writing a generic keymap system (lots harder
as you have to both generalize the code that takes action on the key/button
presses (of which there are 2 methods now), and write some new keymapping
system to use in that, as well as GUI dialogs (or at least a config file) so
you can configure it all...)...   lots of work. :)

thinking aloud about implementation:
Reconciling the new interaction methods into one generic block may be very
difficult as they're 2 different state machines, similar but different
enough...  however, as my new method has more features, perhaps if
*it*supported keybindings, then perhaps that could be close enough to
feel like
the old interaction method...    Another idea is to have both a 1.)
configurable method/statemachine (mine vs original) and 2.) keybindings for
that method...     I could be overthinking this, possibly the 2 methods can
be generalized together, then this whole problem goes away and i simply go
with #2 only......

for now i'm leaning towards get stuff done "sooner faster now now now",
it'll be more productive to first finish making mine&seq24 mouse interaction
selectable... then think about keybindings later, as it would then simply
replace the key detection in one or both of those methods...   that's my
plan for now... sorry for the train of thought, hope it was fun for you.
