Binding mouse buttons ( > 3 )

[Helmut Jarausch]

Hi,

I have a Logitech RX1000 mouse which has additional mouse buttons
e.g. when pushing the wheel to the left or to the right.
I'd like to bind these to scrolling left or right, resp.

How can this be achieved?

Many thanks for a hint,
Helmut.

AFAIK, you can't. But its not NEdit faults. The problem is Motif,
there you can only bind 5 buttons. I would be gladly if someone can
correct me here.

whatever, only the X events triggered by the mouse actions are
relevant. So, use xev to see these events, and then you can bind them
to NEdit's action routines, cf.

Hi all,

I am running NEdit on a Solaris unix machine. NEdit has suddently starting
issuing the following error message:


unix> nedit junk.txt
Could not read value of resource nedit.showMatching
NEdit: No default pattern set in highlight pattern:
CSS:Default
<==
NEdit: language mode name required in language mode specification:
C:.c .h::::::".,/\`'!|@#%^&*()-=+{}[]"":;<>?~":<==


I haven't noticed any actual effect on the performance of NEdit, but it's
disconcerting to have such a message start appearing, even though I have no idea
what it means. Any suggestions?

thx,
Howard

I've seen part of this after upgrading the version of nedit. It seems to come from reading
the ~/.nedit preferences file.
Try first saving a copy of .nedit; then from nedit's dropdown menu:
Preferences: save defaults: OK

That should save whatever of your old preferences are compatible with the new version in a
format readable by the new version, overwriting your old file. Then quit and restart
edit, see if the error went away. If not, or if it gets worse, quit nedit and copy the
original .nedit file back.

Thanks, that cleared the problem!!

I got some helpful responses from this discussion list, but today I noticed that
a number of useful NEdit features are not working correctly any longer. For
example,

- Balanced parentheses ( ) and brackets { } are no longer highlighted in red
when the cursor is placed on one of them.

- Continuation symbols in col 6 of fortran code are no longer indicated in a red
font.

Are there any ideas what is going on??

thx,
Howard
