Button #1 is typically the left mouse button, but a user may remap them (eg. left-handed people with a strong preference for using the mouse in their left hand). "left" and "right" buttons normally have a semantic meaning (e.g. "the button normally used for clicking on things" vs "the button used for context menus etc.") and you cannot hard code these on X Window. More precisely, if you do hard code them, you disenfranchise a set of users who remap their mouse buttons. Are you saying that if I map the left mouse button to be the right one and click on it, I will not get that signal? As far as the user code is concerned, the button I press to get the context menu shouldn't matter, because this a low-level signal. All the user code should be aware is - did I click the action button or context menu one. Why do I need to care which is which? Could you give me a scenario? Thank you. > _______________________________________________ gtk-list mailing list gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
