\\ // RMBShift V2.0
\//
1991

WHAT'S NEW SINCE V1.0?
The only thing that V2.0 has in common with V1.0 is that the both
let the Right mousebutton act as if it was a SHIFT-key. V2.0, however,
does is much more elegantly.
WHAT IS RMBSHIFT ?
RMBShift makes the Right mousebutton (RMB) act as if it was a SHIFT-key.
This can be useful when you for example have to select multiple icons on the
workbench. Normally you would have to hold down a SHIFT-key to do this -
now you can use the RMB instead (and only use one hand). The RMB is normally
used when selecting menus - however, when RMBShift is active you can only
get to the menus by pressing the RMB when the mouse is on the screens
titlebar.
Some programs (e.g. DPaint) use RMB events for their own special purposes
(through setting the RMPTRAP and MENUBUTTONS flags), and RMBShift will not
interfere with that.
Once you have started RMBShift, it only uses
268 bytes
of memory.
THERE IS A VERY NICE EXTRA FEATURE !!
If you press and hold the Left mousebutton, and then click the RMB once,
then you turn off RMBShift - that is, the Right mousebutton will start to
behave normally again. You can turn RMBShift back on again by doing the same
thing once more.
WHAT IF I HAVE A THREE_BUTTON MOUSE ?
If you have a three-button mouse, then you could try another of my
previously released programs called 'MMBShift' which lets you use the
Middle mousebutton instead.
HOW TO START RMBSHIFT
From CLI : Type '
RMBShift
' and press RETURN.
There is
NO
need to use
RUN
,
RUNBACK
,
ARUN
etc.
From Workbench: Double-click on the '
RMBShift
' icon.
HOW TO REMOVE RMBSHIFT COMPLETELY FROM MEMORY
You can remove RMBShift by starting it again as explained above.
COMPATABILITY !
RMBShift has been tested under kickstart 1.2, 1.3 and 2.x on a
PAL 2.5 MB 68000 based Amiga 1000 (0.5 MB chip-ram). If any problems
is encountered with other configurations then let me know.
