I see using xev that button 6 and 7 events are generated for horizontal scroll. But I can't name e.g. Btn6up Btn6down Btn7up Btn7down in resources to use them as horizontal scroll bar accelerators.

A google for

libXt btn7up OR btn7down

shows that people have patched libXt before to support that sort of thing, within limits; one of the results said:

>Here's a revised patch that only touches libXt-0.1.5. Because the X11 protocol >doesn't have event masks for those buttons, we can't use the buttons in drag >events. What we *can* do is bind actions to up and down events on them. Still, that's good enough to use it to manipulate a horizontal scroll bar; and since scroll wheel steps map to button up/button down pairs (clicks, if you will), with the usual button mapping, using those for dragging would be impossible anyway, I think. So I don't suppose there's much down side. (I use knews* Usenet reader 'cause I'm faster with it than with anything else. It has its own Xt based widget set, and a couple of horizontal and vertical scroll bars. I can define accelerators using "buttons" 4 and 5, but not 6 and 7. It seems pretty clear that's a limit of libXt, not knews or its widgets.) * The original URL isn't valid anymore, so finding source is a little tricky. _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
