Mouse Bindings Line

Mouse bindings are mouse button settings that are assigned, or bound, to SKILL commands. Mouse bindings tell you what command the program executes when you press a mouse button. You can see the current mouse bindings for the window where the pointer is on the mouse bindings line. For example:

The letters L, M, and R indicate the left, middle, and right button assignments.

You can perform the following tasks associated with mouse bindings:

• Control whether the mouse bindings line appears in your CIW using the MouseBar check box on the pop-up that appears when you right-click the mouse bindings line.
• Control whether the mouse bindings line appears in new windows using the Mouse Prompts drop-down combo box in the Window Controls group box on the User Preferences form.
  The mouse bindings setting is overridden by any applied workspace regardless of the position selected in the Mouse Prompts combo-box.
• Mouse bindings display changes to show the appropriate commands when modifier keys on the keyboard are pressed in combination with a mouse click.
  In case a mouse plus a keyboard modifier binding, such as mouse click + <SHIFT>, is not working, it is likely that you are using an older VNC server that is not compatible with the KeyCode to KeySym conversion function XkbKeycodeToKeysym that replaces the deprecated function XKeycodeToKeysym.
  To workaround this issue on older VNC servers, use the deprecated XKeycodeToKeysym function. Also, update the event list to include new GenericEvent.
