Re: wheel mouse

[Martynas Kunigelis <martynas@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

The mouse wheel "scrolling" events are usually bound as mouse buttons 4
and 5. This, however, depends on how your "driver" (be it GPM or X server)
is configured, and Slang has no influence there. So what you generally
need a correctly configured mouse "driver" and a way for Slang to report
mouse clicks for buttons above 3.

I think the actual mapping should be left to the programmer, there is only
a need to deliver some different simulated keycodes for different mouse
buttons. Does Slang do that?
