Hello,
I get a strange behaviour with -B options, as if button numbers were
inverted. I have activated the -3 option and my mouse is a PS2 3-buttons
Logitech mouse.
Here is what I obtain with various values:
"-B 123": The left button sets the pointer, the second pastes and the
third extends the selection (select/paste/extend). AFAIK, this is the
standard behaviour.
"-B 132": One would expect select/extend/paste, but I get
paste/select/extend instead. Other versions of gpm (the one in woody for
example) give select/extend/paste.
"-B 213": Leads to select/extend/paste, which is consistent with "-B 132"
but not very intuitive.
So it seems that:
- the first number refers to the right button,
- the second number is the middle button,
- the third number defines the left button,
- 1 means extend,
- 2 means paste,
- 3 means select.
The intuitive (and old behaviour) should be:
- first number -> left button,
- 2nd number -> middle button,
- 3rd number -> right button,
- 1 means select,
- 2 means paste,
- 3 means extend.
