Subject: three button mice on windows and macs

Hi All,

I am pretty new to Squeak. I just wrote a minimal parser of some configuration files and started to feel comfortable in the environment.

Now since a few years I mostly use macs but at my new job I will have to work with Windows again. So I loved that fact that I can open my Squeak image on OSX and XP and just use the tools that I create in squeak on both systems.

On both systems I have three button mice. Because the scroll wheel (middle) button is rather hard to press I am using it to get the halos, with the right mouse button used for the context menu. Now I found the general preference to set this up, but the behavior is inverse on windows than on macs. So when switching platforms I always have to change the preference.

Did I overlook another setting or a configuration file that would fix this? Or in which class (or possibly where in the VM code) would be a good place to fix this?

Best regards,
Rainer Keller
