Mouse Functions
102 Show & Action Hotspots
Show & Action Hotspots
A hotspot facility is provided which enables you to invoke a func-
tion by clicking the mouse pointer on a keyword displayed on the
screen. For example, an application may display information relat-
ing to keys you can press to perform a particular function. Instead of
pressing the key on the keyboard, you could invoke the function by
holding down the
Alt key and clicking the mouse pointer on the dis-
played key name (assuming default mouse configuration).
Hotspots are supported in ALL terminal emulation modes. A set of
default hotspot keywords is provided for each mode. These relate to
key functions specific to the emulation. For example, in VT500
mode you can click on the word
Help displayed on the screen and
the emulator will execute the function associated with the Help key.
You can identify hotspots that are currently present in display mem-
ory by using the
Show Hotspots
function. All colour attributes will
be temporarily removed from the display and the hotspots will be
highlighted with a red background.
Emulating a 3-Button Mouse
You can assign the function of the middle button found on a three-
button mouse to any button or button and key combination by using
the
Middle Button
setting.
