Expand description
The mouse, as shortcuts to keys (nothing here changes what a key does): the wheel
presses arrows, a footer key click presses it, a form row click focuses and presses
Space, a tab click selects it, a table or home click moves the cursor (double click:
Enter), a plot click places the crosshair. Header drag moves a column (H/L),
dragging the gap after sets width (</>); header double click sorts ([/]), gap
double click fits (=); right click opens a cell’s key menu. Mouse input is never
held: where a key would wait, it is dropped
(crate::app::event_pump::EventPump::terminal_mouse). Click targets are recorded while
drawing (record) by the widgets that lay them out.
Structs§
- Clicked
- A field a click focused: its kind, and whether the click acts on it as well (a
list row’s first click only focuses it:
Form::list_row). - Enable
Mouse - Ask for presses, releases, drag motion and the wheel, SGR-encoded for wide screens;
not
EnableMouseCapture, which also streams buttonless motion the app would discard. Undone byDisableMouseCapture. - FieldId
- A form’s field as drawn: the form, by its type, and the field, by name. Kept as text so a frame’s regions need not know every form’s field type.
- Pointing
- What the last frame drew where, the last click, and a drag in progress.
Enums§
- Drag
- A drag in progress, from a press on the table’s header.
- Hit
- What a region of the frame is, for a click.
- Pointer
- What a mouse event comes to.
- Target
- Where a click or the wheel moves the cursor.
Constants§
- DOUBLE_
CLICK - Two clicks on one cell this close together are a double click.
- WHEEL_
ROWS - Rows a notch of the wheel moves.
Functions§
- act_key
- The key a click presses on a field it focused: Space acts on it (toggles, steps, opens, presses); a right click steps a choice back, as ← does, and only focuses anything else. A text field only takes focus.
- capture
- Take the mouse from the terminal when
on(display.mouse,--mouse); off, the terminal keeps it, and selecting text works as it does anywhere. - chip_
key - The key a chip’s label names, when it names one key:
Enter,^O,q,F1. - record
- Say what a region of the frame being drawn is. Later regions lie on top.
- record_
field - Say that
rectis formT’s row forfield. - record_
spans - Record a line’s spans that a click picks among: each
(span, hit)names a span ofline, drawn left-aligned fromarea.xonarea.y. Their places are summed from the spans drawn, so they agree with the line on screen. - wanted
- The mouse events the app acts on: a left press, its drag and release, a right press, and the wheel. Motion with no button down and the middle button are left alone.
