23 ;;; Commentary:
25 ;; What is ``mouse-drag.el''?
27 ;; Doesn't that scroll bar seem far away when you want to scroll?
28 ;; This module overloads mouse-2 to do ``throw'' scrolling. You
29 ;; click and drag. The distance you move from your original click
30 ;; turns into a scroll amount. The scroll amount is scaled
31 ;; exponentially to make both large moves and short adjustments easy.
32 ;; What this boils down to is that you can easily scroll around the
33 ;; buffer without much mouse movement. Finally, clicks which aren't
34 ;; drags are passed off to the old mouse-2 binding, so old mouse-2
35 ;; operations (find-file in dired-mode, yanking in most other modes)
36 ;; still work.
38 ;; There is an alternative way to scroll, ``drag'' scrolling. You
39 ;; can click on a character and then drag it around, scrolling the
40 ;; buffer with you. The character always stays under the mouse.
41 ;; Compared to throw-scrolling, this approach provides direct
42 ;; manipulation (nice) but requires more mouse movement
43 ;; (unfortunate). It is offered as an alternative for those who
44 ;; prefer it.
46 ;; If you like mouse-drag, you should also check out mouse-copy
47 ;; for ``one-click text copy and move''.
49 ;; To use mouse-drag, place the following in your init file:
50 ;; -either-
51 ;; (global-set-key [down-mouse-2] 'mouse-drag-throw)
52 ;; -or-
53 ;; (global-set-key [down-mouse-2] 'mouse-drag-drag)
57 ;; Options:
59 ;; - reverse the throw-scroll direction with \\[mouse-throw-with-scroll-bar]
60 ;; - work around a bug with \\[mouse-extras-work-around-drag-bug]
61 ;; - auto-enable horizontal scrolling with
62 ;; \\[mouse-drag-electric-col-scrolling]
65 ;; History and related work:
67 ;; One-click copying and moving was inspired by lemacs-19.8.
68 ;; Throw-scrolling was inspired by MacPaint's ``hand'' and by Tk's
69 ;; mouse-2 scrolling. The package mouse-scroll.el by Tom Wurgler
70 ;; <twurgler@goodyear.com> is similar to mouse-drag-throw, but
71 ;; doesn't pass clicks through.
73 ;; These functions have been tested in emacs version 19.30,
74 ;; and this package has run in the past on 19.25-19.29.
76 ;; Originally mouse-drag was part of a larger package.
77 ;; As of 11 July 96 the scrolling functions were split out
78 ;; in preparation for incorporation into (the future) emacs-19.32.
80 ;; Thanks:
82 ;; Thanks to Kai Grossjohann
83 ;; <grossjoh@dusty.informatik.uni-dortmund.de> for reporting bugs, to
84 ;; Tom Wurgler <twurgler@goodyear.com> for reporting bugs and
85 ;; suggesting fixes, and to Joel Graber <jgraber@ti.com> for
86 ;; prompting me to do drag-scrolling and for an initial
87 ;; implementation of horizontal drag-scrolling.

92 ;; What's new with mouse-drag 2.24?
94 ;; - mouse-drag-electric-col-scrolling (default: on)
95 ;; auto-enables horizontal scrolling when clicks on wrapped
96 ;; lines occur
98 ;; TODO:
99 ;; - For mouse-drag-throw, we should try and place some visual indicator
100 ;; of the original mouse position (like Firefox does).
