hi,
i hacked zephyr-2.0.4 so that shift clicking with the middle
button opens an URL in netscape. i added this to clients/zwgc/xmark.c:
char *xmarkGetWord()
{
int index, len, block, startblock, endblock;
char *text = markgram->text;
index = markchar[XMARK_TEMP_BOUND];
block = markblock[XMARK_TEMP_BOUND];
startblock = markgram->blocks[block].strindex;
endblock = startblock + markgram->blocks[block].strlen;
index += startblock;
/* Find space on left */
for(;index>=startblock;index--)
if(text[index] == ' ')
break;
index++;
/* Find space on right */
for(len=0;index+len<=endblock;len++)
if(text[index+len] == ' ')
break;
len--;
return(string_CreateFromData(text+index, len));
}
then the following diffs to xcut.c:
47d46
< extern char *xmarkGetWord();
146d144
< #define PRESSOP_LINK 6 /* link */
190d187
< char *ptr, string[1024];
238,239d234
< } else if (current_pressop == PRESSOP_LINK) {
< xmarkSetBound(gram,event->xbutton.x,event->xbutton.y,XMARK_TEMP_BOUND);
267,269d261
< } else if (event->xbutton.button==Button2) {
< xmarkSetBound(gram,event->xbutton.x,event->xbutton.y,XMARK_TEMP_BOUND);
< current_pressop = PRESSOP_LINK;
295,303d286
< } else if (current_pressop == PRESSOP_LINK) {
< selected_text = xmarkGetWord();
< for(ptr=selected_text;*ptr;ptr++)
< if(*ptr == ':')
< break;
< if(ptr[0] == ':' && ptr[1] == '/' && ptr[2] == '/') {
< sprintf(string, "netscape-remote -remote 'openURL(%s, new-window)' &",
selected_text);
< system(string);
< }
netscape-remote is a utility that can be downloaded from:
http://home.netscape.com/newsref/std/x-remote.html
i would love to see this zwgc feature (or a massaged version thereof)
appear in the next athena release.
thanks,
jon
