McCLIM changes: text selection

Thursday, December 9, 2004

Andy Hefner has added an important feature to the CVS sources of McCLIM: text selection functionality in stream panes, based on code by Gilbert Baumann. The commit log summarizes the kind of interaction available, which is different from the X Window style: 

Shift-Mouse-L down: clear active selection and set the first point
Shift-Mouse-L drag: drag the second point
Shift-Mouse-L up:   set the second point


Shift-Mouse-R down: pick the nearest point, if any
Shift-Mouse-R drag: drag said point
Shift-Mouse-R up:   leave said point where it was dragged to.


Shift-Mouse-M:      paste
The code still has some rough edges. I use the 2004-10 CMUCL snapshot under Slackware Linux 10.0 with the X.org 6.7.0 server. With this setup I can select text but, when I paste it, I get back spurious text.
