WHAT IS MMBSHIFT ?
MMBShift makes the middle button - on a three-button mouse - act as if
it was a SHIFT-key. This means that it will be very easy to select multiple
icons on the workbench without having to press a SHIFT-key. Just select
the first icon with the left mousebutton (LMB), then press the middle
mouse-button (MMB) and hold it. Now you can select more icons the usual
way just as if you were using a normal SHIFT-key.
MMBShift is loosely based on Garryan Glendown's
MMB
from Fish-disk 436.
However,
MMB
also had some other features - windows/screens moving - which
I had no use for. Besides that,
MMB
was huge (4100 bytes) and was running
its own process while it was in memory (this means using memory for stack,
process-structure etc.). Once you have started MMBShift, it only uses
166
bytes of memory.
WHAT IF I DON'T HAVE A THREE_BUTTON MOUSE ?
If you do not have a three-button mouse, then you should try the 'RMBShift'
program instead.
HOW TO START MMBSHIFT
From CLI : Type '
MMBShift
' and press RETURN.
There is
NO
need to use
RUN
,
RUNBACK
,
ARUN
etc.
From Workbench: Double-click on the '
MMBShift
' icon.
HOW TO REMOVE MMBSHIFT
You can remove MMBShift by starting it again as explained above.
COMPATABILITY !
MMBShift has been tested under kickstart 1.2, 1.3 and 2.x on a
2.5 MB 68000 based Amiga 1000 (0.5 MB chip-ram). If any problems
is encountered with other configurations then let me know.
