Hi All, I am not subscribed, let me know if I need to, to post a question.
I have difficulties to select my text with a mouse (cut/paste) at a line start, and in a less extend to a midlle line char. I got the filling that to select a start char on a line you must be 'close' to its left edge, my font are small, and the window manager have a fuzzy area on the edge to be able to grab the thin window border (resize), i.e the window border spill over the char start, making it almost impossible to cut the 1st char of the line in one shot, the work around is to activate the window my clicking on it the window manager release the fuzzy area and now you can select the text still with the same difficutlies as middle line chars. For middle line char you got to be close to the left edge of a char to cut it, beeing closer to the left edge miss the cut. Here is with a drawing what I feel. A char drawing area. +---o---o---+ |---o---o---| |---o---o---| |---o---o---| |---o---o---| +---o---o---+ ^ ^ ^ | | +--<-- Click here miss the selection (next char is selected as select start) | +--<---<-- Ditto +--<---<---<-- Success My question is, is there an X option (setup) to define where in a char you got to be to make the select a success even if you are closer to the right part of a char. If not settable how hard would it be to make a local patch ? I am ignorant regarding the X11 code, don't know how hard/easy it is to build on linux, where to start looking for that. Thanx in advance for your help Cheers,
