yet another wheelmouse binding : zoom with layout, schematic, waveform.

    Hi All,

    For those (if any !) who liked the motif and workbench configs I posted on wheelmouse/doubleclick handling (
    http://groups.google.com/groups?q=fogh btn4down http://groups.google.com/groups?q=fogh+double+click ) , you should also appreciate this snippet, which binds zoom to control+wheel

    ;; set control-wheel to zoom in/out
    let( ((goldy 1.618034) (binding ""))
    foreach(application '("Schematics" "Command Interpreter" "Show File" "Symbol" "Graphics Browser" "Layout")
    binding=strcat("hiZoomRelativeScale(hiGetCurrentWindow() " sprintf(nil "%L" goldy) " )" )
    hiSetBindKey( application "Ctrl<Btn4Down>" binding)
    binding=strcat("hiZoomRelativeScale(hiGetCurrentWindow() " sprintf(nil "%L" 1/goldy) " )" )
    hiSetBindKey( application "Ctrl<Btn5Down>" binding)
    );apps
    binding=hiGetBindKey("awv" "None<Key>z")
    hiSetBindKey("awv" "<Btn4Down>" binding)
    binding=hiGetBindKey("awv" "Shift<Key>z")
    hiSetBindKey("awv" "<Btn5Down>" binding)
    );let


    BTW, I did not get any feedback on the CmDoubleClick() function, the CmMouseWheelLikeArrows(), or the common desktop environment and X11 resources for wheelmouse that I posted this summer. So if you use it, don t be shy, tell me what you think, what you modified, ...

    I have just inserted that CmDoubleClick into my environment and I
    think it is very good. I can't comment much on the code but it is
    documented and fairly easy to understand.

    Thanks Svenn.

    If there are people interested in the wheel bindings who use citrix ICA / metaframe for unix, you have noticed that it doesn t work...that is because MFU has simply no support for more than 3 mouse buttons.
    So please get in touch with your Metaframe supplier and request that they add support for button4&5 events in their Xserver "ctxXtw".
    With requests from big customers that may happen.

  4. I tested your code and everything worked fine directly, except that I
    had to remove 'DM("is switchable")' from CmDoubleClick().

    Hi fogh,

    I am enjoying your mouse wheel configs. Thanks a lot!
    Concerning double click function, it not so useful for me, I prefer
    keyboard :). But all scrolling mappings are really useful.

    BTW, you are asking for improvements, I had made one for the zoom
    function. I prefer zoom at the pointer. Here is an example:

    ;; procedure to zoom in/out at the mouse pointer
    procedure( CmMouseWheelZoom(action "s")
    let(((goldy 1.618034) (wwin hiGetCurrentWindow()) xy )
    goldy = caseq(action
    (zoomin goldy)
    (t 1/goldy)
    )
    xy = hiGetPoint(wwin)
    hiZoomRelativeScale(wwin goldy)
    if( xy hiVectorPan(wwin xy hiGetPoint(wwin)))
    ) ; ** let **
    ) ; ** procedure CmMouseWheelZoom **

    ;; set control-wheel to zoom in/out
    let( ((binding ""))
    foreach(application '("Schematics" "Command Interpreter" "Show File"
    "Symbol" "Graphics Browser" "Layout")
    hiSetBindKey( application "Ctrl<Btn4Down>"
    "CmMouseWheelZoom('zoomin)")
    hiSetBindKey( application "Ctrl<Btn5Down>"
    "CmMouseWheelZoom('zoomout)")
    )
    binding=hiGetBindKey("awv" "None<Key>z")
    hiSetBindKey("awv" "<Btn4Down>" binding)
    binding=hiGetBindKey("awv" "Shift<Key>z")
    hiSetBindKey("awv" "<Btn5Down>" binding)
    ) ; ** let **

    Thanks,

    Boris,

    thanks, it makes more sense to zoom on the pointer indeed. You can also bind
    the doubleclick action to a key. It may spare you a descend popup.
