RPi menu emulation

Since this question came up repeatedly: does the RPi version of RISC OS support using the Windows key (like VRPC does)? For all those with touch pads etc.

Do you mean for mouse buttons?

If so, not intrinsically, but it’s easy to add. (I have the windows and menu keys mapped to mouse buttons on my Iyonix)

Yes, the mouse button. Is there a way for newbies ?

I have a dummy app in my utilities Called !KeymapMW
it contains the KeyMapper Module plus the following !run file

RMEnsure KeyMapper RMLoad <Obey$Dir>.KeyMapper
KeyMap 104 112
KeyMap 106 113
KeyMap 105 114

It is added to configure > boot > run

I got the module here:

(It would be nice if this were possible in the Macro keys section of Keyboard.)

edit: cheers for the link

Also, check out WinMenu from http://www.7thsoftware.co.uk/software.htm

Ok, that makes three* of them now. Well, that’s a surprise then!

How awkward would it be to fit a ‘middle button emulation’ to RISC OS as standard? It’s something that’s coming up a lot on the RPi forums.

I can package up one of the existing solutions in the meantime… ahem, Steve, WinMenu has no licence information. Can you ask yourself under what conditions it may be distributed ;-)

OK. I’ll BSD it.

Done.

OK. I’ll BSD it.
