[PCB_FORUM] Re: mouse change w/15.5

Shirley,
 
If you wanted to use a newer fancy mouse, just set the scroll wheel to
"Middle Button" on any Logitech mouse.  Pushing down on the scroll wheel
works the same as a middle button for Allegro and still functions as a
scroll wheel for other applications.
I like the MX1000 so much I bought another one for at work.
Sorry, I don't think that I have any more of those 3-button Logitech
mice, otherwise I'd send 'em your way.
I still catch myself trying to move a screen the Allegro way in other
apps or games, and even a stroke once or twice.
 
Cheers!
Drew

That is why I have a monopoly on Logitech 3 button mice...
Every one gets a bribe if they change to a fancy mouse and bring me
their old one.
They get chocolate if they supply the driver files too!

It is damn near impossible to use strokes with a trackball :)

        In a previous life, I was doing schematic entry in Mentor and
learned the "strokes"!
        Wow they were just great. Once you get used to them they are
very powerful.
         
        When I started up on Cadence I found they had only a few strokes
and most of them
        didn't work well so I went back to using function keys for the
basic things. Of course
        it doesn't help much that Cadence follows the Select a process
then select the thing the 
        process is to affect. Whereas Mentor you select the item, then
tell it what process you want to
        use. 
         
        One of these days I will train my Cadence tool how to use
strokes better but as a librarian
        there are only a few basic things I need now.

        I've seen those strokes performed by Mentor users, and it works
really fast. Some of them look like ninja's just stroking their mouse.

        LOL... the Mentor people think "strokes" are the best thing
since sliced bread.  
         
        Give me configurable keyboard control anyday.

                env variable,  "unset no_dynamic_zoom"
                 
                why on earth it's even an option? about as much use as
strokes.

                Hey guys,

                 

                I'm not sure what's going on with my mouse, or if it's
even a result of upgrading to 15.5.

                 

                Before, while on 15.2, clicking the middle mouse button
would continue zooming in if I had just zoomed in.

                If I had just zoomed out, the middle mouse button would
continue the zooming out when clicked.

                 

                Now, clicking the middle mouse button zooms me in,
whether I just zoomed out or in.

                 

                Not a big deal, but anyone have any clues as to where
this is set?

                 

                Thanks!
