I totally agree with the color buttons being really confusing. What's funny is that it's not even consistent. For instance, preference "swapMouseButtons" comment is "if true, swaps mouse buttons 2 and 3". What's that suppose to mean? Weren't mouse buttons colored?? :) However, I have a question: once you change the names to left, right, middle, what will happen if swapMouseButtons is true? Will "middleClick" still mean "middleClick"? Cheers Richo On Mon, Jan 24, 2011 at 9:38 AM, Geert Claes <geert.wl.claes@gmail.com>wrote:

I hate yellowButtonPressed and redButtonPressed and blueButtonPressed messages.
Why not lefClick, rightClick and "middleClick"?
I agree that the meaning of the colors is no longer useful, although "hate" is maybe a bit harsh :)
Surely this has already been addressed in other environments? http://api.jquery.com/mousedown api.jquery.com/mousedown for example also refers to the left, middle and right button.
Even Apple's multi-touch "magic-mouse" talks about left and right-clicks (which is ironic as they have long resisted to even add a second button) ... but also mouse events for the "360° scroll", "Screen zoom" and "two-finger swipe". -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/What-about-a-little-rename-in-MouseEvent-tp3233363p323...
