Right-click on Wineconsole

[wvesa]

Hi,

How to enable right-click and wheel-click on Wine-console? Current behavior is opening console settings. Wine version 8.15 on Ubuntu 22.04.
The application and some screenshots can be found here:

There is a zip-archive containing the executable and documentation.
Everything seems working apart from getting those mouse-events to the application. Left-click works as expected.

Best regards,

You can modify how wineconsole reacts to right-clicks by adjusting its settings in the "Properties" menu.
Right-click → Properties → Options → Popup menu
And enable Control and/ or Shift.

See Table 3-2 for more information.

Thanks a lot for the detailed explanation and reference. I saw the options, but just did not get what they do.
Now I can use all the features.
I noticed that this application can consume wheel scroll events too, but is there a way to enable those?

As far as I know, there is no option for the mouse wheel.

However, during my testing of the program, I did not encounter any issues with the mouse wheel. Have you tried starting the program in a different way to see if the mouse wheel works then?

Code: Select all

wine start cmd /c COIL.EXE
# or
wineconsole COIL.EXE
# or
wine start COIL.EXE

Between the testing Wine has updated to 8.16 and mouse wheel works perfectly no matter what way of starting, including double-click form Gnome Files.

So now this application is Platinum-level supported.

Thanks for everyone involved.

Strictly the mouse wheel issue is related to wineconsole window scroll-bars. As soon as there is one, it gets priority. Unfortunately such scroll-bar gets automatically added after a minimize–maximize cycle. FYI this is a Wayland session on the above mentioned platform.
