1 Introduction
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
The library LIB * vedxvedmouse provides the basic mouse settings used by
XVed. There are two possible settings for this library. If the XVed
application resource * UseOldMouseBindings is set true, then the mouse
bindings prior to Version 15+ are used. If UseOldMouseBindings is false,
the default XVed bindings are used. (Note that UseOldMouseBindings
defaults to true for Openlook XVed, but to false for Motif and Vanilla
XVed.)
The mouse bindings are specified with an extension to * vedset, see
REF * XVED/vedset for details.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
2 Notation Used
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
BUTTONS These refer to the buttons on the mouse. The number of
buttons varies from machine to machine and what is referred
to below as, for example, BUTTON 3, might refer to pressing
both buttons simultaneously on a two button mouse.
CLICKing This refers to quickly pressing and releasing a mouse
button.
DRAGing This refers to pressing a mouse button, then moving the
mouse while keeping the button pressed.
HOLDing Pressing a mouse button and not releasing it after a time
exceeding twice that of the application value
* MultiClickTimeOut (which is 1/5 second by default).

3 Default XVed Mouse Settings (Except Openlook)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
The default XVed mouse bindings are as follows:
CLICK BUTTON 1
If the pointer is on 'active' text containing a text action or a "*
documentation reference, obey the action or fetch the documentation
file.
Otherwise, move the cursor to the pointer position.
CLICK THEN DRAG BUTTON 1 (ie, press-release-press & hold)
This causes the window to go into a "vertical scrolling" mode. The
entire file will move up/down when the mouse is moved up/down. The
scrolling mode terminates when button 1 is released.
CLICK TWICE THEN DRAG BUTTON 1 (ie, p-r-p-r-p & hold)
This causes the window to go into a "horizontal scrolling" mode. The
entire file will move left/right when the mouse is moved left/right.
The scrolling mode terminates when button 1 is released.
