Hi FlashCode,

here are my thoughts SO FAR :-)

  • is it possible to differentiate click on the nick name (prefix) in chat window? bol is "", but bol is also "" if click on 1st letter of chat text
  • better drag and drop support, e.g. click in middle of 1st line, drag to middle of 3rd line; want to receive (select) from--to region
  • hilighting or adding markup to the buffer, e.g. hilight all possible URLs, or hilight current selection, or hilight currently selected (with keyboard/cursor) URL see screenshot on my script page
    • selection should update during drag
    • selection must work with /cursor, maybe something like start_selection, end_selection
  • alternatively a way to get text layout, to copy everything in a free layout window. that's what my patch and script does
  • double- or triple click support? example usage: double-click on URL to open, double-click on nick to query (but single-click on nick opens nick menu)
    • also: double-click and drag to start word selection (select text by word boundaries)
  • better keyboard navigation in /cursor mode, e.g. bind M-{b,f}, C-{a,e}
  • resize split windows interactively with /cursor or mouse drag
  • selection and cursor positioning for input_text area, I think positioning should be somehow possible with the current API
  • publish button down and button up events to scripts, so they can do different things (menu script does select on down, execute on up)
  • wish item: dynamic switch between 1000 and 1002 mode during drag, for better xterm compatibility (see my mouse-var.pl script how to do it, basically switch to 1002 on ' ' and back to 1000 on '#')


some sample how coords works, maybe you can help me come up with a plan how to port it? the API and my "api" are thought up in other ways :-)

  • button down -> create copy window (most similar to this: /cursor mode), hilight URLs
    • start drag: starts to select text, hilight as drag goes
      • button up: selected text is copied, copy win closes
    • button up
      • nothing: IF there was a URL on the position, the URL is copied. copy win closes
      • button down
        • start drag (i.e. double click with start drag): starts to select text BY WORDS, hilight as drag goes (a lot of terminals have this feature)
          • button up: selected text is copied, copy win closes
        • button up (i.e. double click): IF there was a URL, lauch browser, copy win closes


the list is structured as a tree, you have a different choice for each level you go down, hope you can understand what I mean?
