- DC MOUSE SHIFT v1.0
-
- Copyright (c) 1991 Double Click Software
-
- Program by Michael B. Vederman and Keith Gerdes
-
- DC MOUSE SHIFT is a FREEWARE program. You may freely distribute this
- program but may not alter the program or documentation contents.
-
- ==================================================================
-
- DC MOUSE SHIFT emulates any of the modifier keys (SHIFTs, CONTROL and/or
- ALTERNATE) by pressing the RIGHT MOUSE BUTTON.
-
- Now, at the desktop you can select multiple files just by keeping the right
- mouse button pressed while you are selecting (if you select to emulate one
- of the SHIFT keys).
-
- Or, you can MOVE (TOS 1.4 or higher) files by keeping the right mouse button
- pressed when you drag and release the files (if you select to emulate the
- CONTROL key).
-
- Or, you can emulate any combination. You can even have it turn off inside
- of a program (or leave it on).
-
-
- ============
- INSTALLATION
- ============
- Installation is simple!
-
- >To install DC MOUSE SHIFT, do this:
- ------------------------------------
-
- 1) Copy DCMSHIFT.PRG to your AUTO folder.
-
- 2) Perform the CONFIGURATION (see below).
-
- 3) Reset your computer to install it in memory.
-
-
- =============
- CONFIGURATION
- =============
- Before you do install DC MOUSE SHIFT, you should configure it.
-
- >To configure DC MOUSE SHIFT, follow these steps:
- -------------------------------------------------
-
- 1) Run DCMSHIFT.PRG from the desktop (in your AUTO folder).
-
- 2) You will be presented with an alert box with some program info. Click
- on the CONFIG button to continue.
-
- 3) You will next be presented with a series of alert boxes asking you which
- modifier keys you want to emulate while the RIGHT MOUSE BUTTON is being
- depressed:
-
- Emulate the <RIGHT SHIFT> key
- with the right mouse button?
-
- Emulate the <LEFT SHIFT> key
- with the right mouse button?
-
- Emulate the <CONTROL> key
- with the right mouse button?
-
- Emulate the <ALTERNATE> key
- with the right mouse button?
-
- Click the YES button in any of the above mentioned alerts to emulate
- that modifier key when you press (and key pressed) the right mouse button.
- You can combine any of the modifier keys.
-
- 4) Now you will be asked if you want DC MOUSE SHIFT to be off when you execute
- a program. Answer YES to have DCMSHIFT only on at the desktop.
-
- 5) DC MOUSE SHIFT will then attempt to save the info back to itself. If it
- has trouble, you will be alerted. Otherwise, it reminds you to move it
- to your AUTO folder.
-
-
- ====================
- USING DC MOUSE SHIFT
- ====================
- DC MOUSE SHIFT is really easy to use. As an example, if you have it set up
- to emulate the SHIFT key, then instead of holding down one of the SHIFT keys
- to select multiple files when you click, you can press the RIGHT MOUSE BUTTON,
- then keep it depressed and select the files normally. Just let up on the
- RIGHT MOUSE BUTTON when you are done.
-
- You can use this on any version of TOS, and on any machine.
-
- It is fully STE and TT compatible.
-
- And, of course, it is 100% assembly language. When installed, it uses
- only 632 bytes.
