Using the Mouse

You can use the mouse to perform standard Windows operations, such as positioning the cursor, selecting text, choosing commands, resizing windows, and so on. In addition to these standard operations, PASSPORT allows you to customize the mouse to execute TN3270, TN5250, VT,SCO ANSI or WYyse-60 keys, perform PASSPORT functions, or run macros by simply clicking the mouse. Mouse settings are saved in the session profile.

The PASSPORT defaults for mouse button actions are as follows:

• Left button, single-click
  By default, a single click (left button) repositions the cursor for TN3270 and TN5250. For VT, SCO ANSI and Wyse the default is hotspot detect.

• Left button, double-click
  By default, double-clicking the mouse (left button) on a hotspot activates the hotspot function assignment; otherwise, double-clicking the mouse repositions the cursor and sends the Enter key command.

• Right button, single-click
  By default, right-clicking the mouse accesses the shortcut menu, which allows you to choose from several commands. (If a command is not currently available, it will appear dimmed on the shortcut menu.) The following commands appear on the shortcut menu:

Cut

Copy Append

Copy Graph

• Right button, double-click
  There is no default function assignment for the right button, double-click action. 

• Wheel Scroll Up
  The default function assignment is to scroll up through the scroll back buffer. The scroll back buffer must be enabled.

• Wheel Scroll Down
  The default function assignment is to scroll down through the scroll back buffer. The scroll back buffer must be enabled.

To customize the mouse events

1. Use the Options>Mouse menu command.

2. Select the specific Mouse Event you want to customize and it will become highlighted.
   
   Note: Be careful when assigning anything to your primary single-click button (usually left), as it may interfere with normal Windows operation and maneuvering. To restore mouse defaults, click the Default button.

3. Click on the Edit... button and the Mouse Action Property dialog box will appear.

4. Select a Category and then an item within that category. This will be the operation that will occur when the mouse event occurs.

5. Click the OK button.

6. Repeat steps 2 through 5 as many times as necessary.

7. Click the OK button to save and exit.
