- FUNCTION
- This one makes it possible to use the mouse when marking blocks of text
- just like on Mac, Windows, X-Windows and other GUI systems. Just hold
- the left mouse button down and drag the mouse to mark. If you press a
- key when a block is marked, the typed character replaces the marked text.
- When a block is marked with the mouse, the mark will disappear when you
- move the cursor.
-
- You can also select a word by double-clicking the left mouse button.
-
- Of course, the original marking method, with Amiga + b, is still possible.
-
- HISTORY
-
- 1.1 Improved the mouse doubleclick word marking. Now it no longer
- marks a space character by mistake. Thanks to that, it is slightly
- slower now.
-
- 1.2 Removed a stupid dependency on the AssignKey() for MouseLeft.
- For some strange reason, this dependency was ignored by FrexxEd
- in earlier versions of the editor.
