Description:
My reports 14302 and 14329 addressed problems with mouse configuration settings. With the current design, the number of different settings possible are tremendous. I, but I think even an advanced user of the IDE also, can easily get completely stuck in what I experience as a labyrinth.
Martin Friebe was very helpful in giving me mouse settings in a xml file which exactly met my needs (and overcome some problems put forward). It looked like these settings represented a behavior similar to the Delphi 2007 IDE.
In order to make the current functionality more practically usable I suggest to:
A. Create predefined configuration settings:
- Lazarus default settings;
- Delphi settings;
- Eclipse settings;
- ...... (any other widely used IDE)
- Custom settings (invoking the existing advanced mouse configuration settings, optionally using selectable predefined settings as starting point)
B. Create a Lazarus installation directory in which the xml files reside.
Of course fine tuning mouse behavior is greatly simplified, but perhaps the biggest advantage is that new and existing users already using other IDE's can easily set behavior they are already familiar with.
