Re: Wheel mouse in gnome

[Hall Stevenson <dhs erinet com>]

For Netscape, try this (it works for me!):

# Netscape add-on to enable scrolling with mouse wheel
!## NETSCAPE
Netscape*drawingArea.translations:      #replace        \
	<Btn1Down>:                     ArmLink()       \n\
        <Btn2Down>:                     ArmLink()       \n\
        ~Shift<Btn1Up>:                 ActivateLink()  \n\
        ~Shift<Btn2Up>:                 ActivateLink(new-window)  \
                                        DisarmLink()    \n\
        Shift<Btn1Up>:                  ActivateLink(save-only)  \
                                        DisarmLink()    \n\
        Shift<Btn2Up>:                  ActivateLink(save-only)  \
                                        DisarmLink()    \n\
        <Btn1Motion>:                   DisarmLinkIfMoved()  \n\
        <Btn2Motion>:                   DisarmLinkIfMoved()  \n\

        <Motion>:                       DescribeLink()  \n\
        <Btn3Down>:                     xfeDoPopup()    \n\
