Linux Oddities
Posted: Sun Mar 14, 2021 8:39 pm
Not sure whether this is the right place for this, but:
I'm running 4.10.1 AppImage on Linux Mint 20. There are 2 issues:
1)
In all Linux systems that I have used since around KDE 2.x, you can highlight some text then use middle-button on mouse to paste the selection, or CTRL-C to copy to clipboard. Or you can run a clipboard manager and configure it to synchronise selection and clipboard. This is a very handy feature, just highlight something and middle-click to paste, or CTRL-V to paste. No need to CTRL-C then CTRL-V.
Unfortunately in mudlet, highlighting some text does not push it to the selection. Which means after highlighting text you need to explicitly CTRL-C to copy to clipboard, except that CTRL-C for some reason is bit of a hit and miss, sometimes it gets copied and sometimes it doesn't. To ensure that text does get copied to clipboard it's necessary to right-click and select COPY.
It would be great if mudlet can work like other programs in this respect.
2)
Again, on all Linux systems that I have used since forever, ALT + left click and drag performs the move window operation.
But ALT + left click and drag combo is supposed to be the method to pan around the map (according to a video I saw), which doesn't work because it moves the mudlet window instead. Can that be changed to something different like CTRL + left click? Or even better (I think) have scroll bars instead of the arrow buttons.
Also the arrow buttons that you can click to pan around the map are very sensitive, if you click on them multiple times too rapidly the maps shoots way off to one direction, then you either have to click on the opposite arrow, slowly one click at a time, for quite a long time, or do a "look" or "move" so the map re-centres itself.
Finally, when selecting or deselecting rooms on the map, you have to click twice (and make sure to pause in between clicks otherwise it might do a speedwalk). It's the same when you do a click-drag to highlight multiple rooms, you have click release, wait a fraction of second, then click-drag. Is this something that can be fixed?
Thanks!
