5. The Mouse

Ved supports a mouse in, unfortunately, a limited set of situations. This is more to do with ncurses, than Ved ....

Your mouse will work if Ved is being run on a Linux VT and the gpm mouse handler is running and gpm support has been compiled into the ncurses library.

Your mouse will work if you are running Ved in an XTerm.

For other combinations, all bets are off.

Only the left button on your mouse is recognized by Ved. Other events are ignored.

Now, what does the mouse do?

One further mouse note: If you are using an XTerm you might find that X's cut and paste has been disabled. No, it still works. But, you'll have to press the [Shift] key on the keyboard while using the normal cut/paste buttons on the mouse. Cutting from a Ved edit screen into an application like Netscape works; as does the opposite.
