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

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