WHAT IS RMBSHIFT ?
RMBShift makes it possible to select multiple icons on the workbench
without having to press a SHIFT-key. Just select the first icon with
the left mousebutton (LMB), keep the button pressed, then press the right
mouse-button (RMB) and hold it. Now you can release the LBM and select
more icons the usual way just as if you were using a normal SHIFT-key.
RMBShift is functionally equivalent to Fridtjof Siebert's
MultiSelect
from Fish-disk 253. However,
MultiSelect
was huge (7484 bytes) and was
running its own task while it was in memory (this means using memory for
stack, process-structure etc.). Once you have started RMBShift, it only
uses
174 bytes
of memory.
WHAT IF I HAVE A THREE_BUTTON MOUSE ?
If you have a three-button mouse, then you should try the 'MMBShift'
program instead.
HOW TO START RMBSHIFT
From CLI : Type '
RMBShift
' and press RETURN.
There is
NO
need to use
RUN
,
RUNBACK
,
ARUN
etc.
From Workbench: Double-click on the '
RMBShift
' icon.
HOW TO REMOVE RMBSHIFT
You can remove RMBShift by starting it again as explained above.
COMPATABILITY !
RMBShift 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.
