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

199 hemisphere you're in.)
