The Lounge What is on Your Mind? Keyboard vs mouse
# 57  
Old 01-09-2013
I'm perfectly happy using a well designed, intuitive GUI if it does what I need to get done. If I keep banging my head against something because the GUI doesn't work, doesn't work consistently, or won't let me do what I need to get done, I'll gladly use a keyboard instead.

It is also frequently difficult to use a GUI to script a frequently repeated task.

NAME
filter-mouse - Generic mouse event translator SYNOPSIS
filter-mouse: [<file>] DESCRIPTION
This filter translates mouse events according to a set of translation rules. OPTIONS
file The name of the configuration file. If none given, the filter will first look for the file filter/mouse in the user GGI directory ($HOME/.ggi/ on UNIX), then in the base GGI directory if not found. CONFIGURATION
The translation rules are specified through a simple text file. The following example gives a good idea of the mouse filter usage. A # marks the rest of the line as a comment. EXAMPLE
A set of mouse translation rules: # Syntax is: # incoming-type [type-specifics] TO outgoing type [type-specifics] # # Simulated mouse buttons on the keyboard # #KEY modmask modvalue button label symbol TO BUT buttonnumber KEY 0x0004 0x0004 0xffff 0x000d 0xffff TO BUT 1 # Alt-Enter KEY 0x0004 0x0004 0xffff 0x0020 0xffff TO BUT 2 # Alt-Space KEY 0x0004 0x0004 0xffff 0x0008 0xffff TO BUT 3 # Alt-BackSpace # # Keyboard-Mouse on the Cursors # #KEY modmask modval button label symbol TO REL axis value KEY 0x0004 0x0004 0xffff 0xe034 0xffff TO REL X -5 # Alt-Left KEY 0x0004 0x0004 0xffff 0xe035 0xffff TO REL X 5 # Alt-Right KEY 0x0004 0x0004 0xffff 0xe032 0xffff TO REL Y -5 # Alt-Up KEY 0x0004 0x0004 0xffff 0xe033 0xffff TO REL Y 5 # Alt-Down # # Keyboard mouse on the Numpad # KEY 0x0004 0x0004 0xffff 0xe231 0xffff TO REL X -5 # Alt-Num1 KEY 0x0004 0x0004 0xffff 0xe231 0xffff TO REL Y 5 # Alt-Num1 KEY 0x0004 0x0004 0xffff 0xe232 0xffff TO REL Y 5 # Alt-Num2 KEY 0x0004 0x0004 0xffff 0xe233 0xffff TO REL X 5 # Alt-Num3 KEY 0x0004 0x0004 0xffff 0xe233 0xffff TO REL Y 5 # Alt-Num3 KEY 0x0004 0x0004 0xffff 0xe234 0xffff TO REL X -5 # Alt-Num4 KEY 0x0004 0x0004 0xffff 0xe235 0xffff TO BUT 1 # Alt-Num5 - Button KEY 0x0004 0x0004 0xffff 0xe236 0xffff TO REL X 5 # Alt-Num6 KEY 0x0004 0x0004 0xffff 0xe237 0xffff TO REL X -5 # Alt-Num7 KEY 0x0004 0x0004 0xffff 0xe237 0xffff TO REL Y -5 # Alt-Num7 KEY 0x0004 0x0004 0xffff 0xe238 0xffff TO REL Y -5 # Alt-Num8 KEY 0x0004 0x0004 0xffff 0xe239 0xffff TO REL X 5 # Alt-Num9 KEY 0x0004 0x0004 0xffff 0xe239 0xffff TO REL Y -5 # Alt-Num9 # # Home the cursor ... # KEY 0x0004 0x0004 0xffff 0xE038 0xffff TO ABS X 0 # Alt-Home KEY 0x0004 0x0004 0xffff 0xE038 0xffff TO ABS Y 0 # Alt-Home # # Invert mouse axis # #REL modmsk modval axis TO REL axis multiplier REL 0x0004 0x0004 X TO REL Y -1 REL 0x0004 0x0004 Y TO REL X -1 # # Accelerate mouse # # multiplier treshold higher-speed REL 0x0004 0x0004 X TO REL X 1 5 4 REL 0x0004 0x0004 Y TO REL Y 1 5 4 # # # Invert mouse buttons BUT 0x0004 0x0004 1 TO BUT 2 BUT 0x0004 0x0004 2 TO BUT 1 libgii-1.0.x 2003-08-11 filter-mouse(7)
