Adjust-click on iconbar items

Please could Adjust-clicking the Task Manager (“switcher”) on the iconbar open the “Configure” window? At present, Adjust does exactly the same as Select, which is a waste. |

Or perhaps to open a more complete window, with open files, list of modules, etc. |

Jim Nagel… Jim Nagel… Oh, Computer Shopper! Hi! Nice to see you here. [I know you’ve been here longer that I have, but you don’t post much. :-) ]
That is, actually, a really good idea. |

Done. You will need to find somebody that can build you a ROM image, until this is integrated into the main ROM build. For those who want to try this… In …castle.RiscOS.Sources.Desktop.Switcher.s.Switcher, line 4332 says:
Change this to be:
The difference is the adjust copy goes to “goconfig” if it’s the icon bar that was clicked upon. The reason for the code duplication is that we use R14 to read what button was pressed (just above in mouse_click) and we then stamp all over R14 in our comparisons. So the quickest route to what we want is to just have two code paths that do mostly the same thing. No effect in code timing, requires 64 bytes extra. Not a hardship. I’ll email this to the code submissions address. I’m running this here, just rebuilt my ROM, and… yeah… It’s a nice tweak. |

Agreed, but how about this:
You might even be able to push |

Not bad. I missed that iconbar_handle was a constant and not loaded into R14. Just building a version with your mods now. |

Built, copied, works just fine. Don’t forget to mail your modifications to code@ ! :-) Nitpicky pointless optimisation stuff → I’d be inclined to swap the select and adjust blocks around so the most common case (clicking Select) can fall through without the additional branch and the pipeline trashing that would occur on older ARM cores (without speculative execution). |

This was discussed a while back in thread Ways to make life easier for new RISC OS users ,for anyone not wanting to load a new rom yet, I knocked up a module then as a quick demo of an adjust click on switcher to open !Configure feature |
