What would you use that for in slrn? The only 'cursor' position is the current article position. >> The Terminal in OS X is very good (and I've use many over the years). >> >> > I'm still on 10.6 - but I guess that was never fixed? >> >> No idea, since you posted a vague accusation instead of any specific >> issue. > within the xterm I could use the mouse for placement, copy,paste, > selection, visual block marking etc. Most of this now is possible via > http://www.culater.net/dl/files/SIMBL-0.9.9.zip and > https://bitheap.org/mouseterm/MouseTerm-1.0b1.dmg You can use the mouse for placement within the current command line, and for copy & paste. You can also use the select/3rd button to select and paste text. > Within slrn I could not only select groups and articles, but scroll and > select menu items from the top menu.

In fact, I don't even use the mouse in Gvim. However, I think several other terminal emulators do. iTerm, perhaps. -- Keep Virginia clean...throw your trash into Maryland.

Within the shell's command line I can't place the cursor within the command line. However, I can do this within a vim command line. But I'm not aware of a command line within slrn. Which one is there? > and for copy & paste. copy/paste within slrn? I don't know where to use this one either. I can in vim, I can't within the shell. > You can also use the select/3rd button to select > and paste text. Yes, that's what I always could do: select a text. But I can't copy with the mouse. I can drag and drop within the command line, but not to any position, but to the current cursor position only. So all of that is different to what I could do within a linux xterm, both for slrn and for the shell. Please explain, what you mean by "Current Command Line". > > Within slrn I could not only select groups and articles, but scroll and > > select menu items from the top menu.

Exactly - and I feel that's why I can't do it within the terminal, running slrn. However, I was surprised that this can be bypassed for vim within the terminal, and maybe it just depends on ncurses, slang or whatever lib is used - and there are many things where the mouse would come in very handy. > However, I think several other terminal emulators do. iTerm, perhaps. Yes, iTerm does, a little bit. Last time I checked it did not work for everything I had before. I don't need the mouse very often within slrn or vim, but there are some things which can be done better with mouse support. - Martin

Maybe. I don't see it as an option in the preferences anymore, but works by default. option-click anywhere in the command line (or in pico) to place the cursor there. -- Sandman[.net]

same to me, I rarely need mouse support.
Nevertheless it's in there and I used it before, on the Linux platform.

Nice to know, never did that before. But option+mouse is very different
to mouse only.
It even works in slrn with option-mouse, a little bit: lots of beeps
when selecting a group, blanked out subject list and no access to the
top level menu.

But just with the +option, isn't it?

Can't try that with the trackpad, although ctrl+option+mouse seems to do
that.
Thanks to you I learned that there is some mouse option within the
shell command line, and even a little bit within slrn.
But when you edit the .slrnrc with
set mouse 1
you can't take full profit of that.
Even worse, copy and paste now seems broken to me. I can't use
copy/paste any longer within vim for more than a word. I'm
afraid that's due to the plugin I just installed. Crap.

I can't comment on that, as I've never tried to setup slrn for mouse use. I suspect it is possible though. -- Let the Wookiee win.

The one catch with X11 on VMS was the default of enabling the mouse in my then favourite editor. This would reposition the cursor wherever you clicked in an editor window and IIRC disabled the kind of selection available on Solaris you describe. Yuck! There was an incantation you could put in your editor startup to disabled this "feature", but it was difficult to find. -- Paul Sture

Yes, thanks, Lewis. Is this documented anywhere? There might be other obscure, but useful, shortcuts listed with it.
