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