;;; hmouse-mod.el --- Action Key acts as CONTROL modifier and Assist Key as META modifier. -*- lexical-binding: t; -*- ;; ;; Author: Bob Weiner ;; ;; Orig-Date: 8-Oct-92 at 19:08:31 ;; Last-Mod: 26-Jul-22 at 23:56:52 by Mats Lidell ;; ;; SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-3.0-or-later ;; ;; Copyright (C) 1992-2022 Free Software Foundation, Inc. ;; See the "HY-COPY" file for license information. ;; ;; This file is part of GNU Hyperbole. ;;; Commentary: ;; ;; This is presently not used because Emacs binds Control and Meta ;; mouse keys which interfere with this mode. To make this work, ;; Hyperbole will first have to unbind those mouse keys before ;; invoking this mode. ;; ;; ---- ;; ;; This defines a single minor mode, hmouse-mod-mode (Hmouse ;; Modifier mode) which makes the Action Mouse Key operate as a ;; Control- modifier key and the Assist Mouse Key operate as a Meta- ;; modifier key. ;; ;; If the Action Key is held down while alpha characters are typed, ;; they are translated into Control keys instead. The Assist ;; Key translates them into Meta keys. When both Smart Keys ;; are depressed, Control-Meta keys are produced. The commands bound ;; to the characters produced are then run. ;; ;; So the Smart Keys modify the keys typed, e.g. Action Key + {a} ;; runs the function for {C-a}. ;; ;; If no keys are typed while the Smart Keys are down, they operate as ;; normally under Hyperbole. ;; This module is for balancing keypress energy across both hands to ;; reduce carpal tunnel stress. It may also be used with a chord keyboard ;; in one hand and a mouse in the other to point at things and ;; operate upon them simultaneously. ;; It requires that Hyperbole be loaded in order to work. Hyperbole ;; defines two Smart Keys, the Action Key and the Assist Key, on the ;; shift-middle and shift-right buttons by default. Use (hmouse-install ;; t) to add an additional Action Key Key on the middle mouse button. ;; ;; TO INVOKE: ;; ;; {C-u M-x hmouse-mod-mode RET} or in Lisp: (hmouse-mod-mode 1) ;; ;; TO QUIT: ;; ;; {C-u 0 M-x hmouse-mod-mode RET} or in Lisp: (hmouse-mod-mode 0) ;; ;; TO TOGGLE ON AND OFF: ;; ;; {M-x hmouse-mod-mode RET} or in Lisp: (hmouse-mod-mode 'toggle) ;;; Code: ;;; ************************************************************************ ;;; Other required Elisp libraries ;;; ************************************************************************ (require 'hyperbole) ;;; ************************************************************************ ;;; Private variables ;;; ************************************************************************ (defvar hmouse-mod--global-map nil "Global key map installed by `hmouse-mod-enable' function.
