Mouse buttons
 

Please pick a choice from the lists to map functions to the left, middle and right mouse button, and to the right button with Ctrl.

Note: Some of the choices, those that are related to marking/copying depend on the option Automatically copy selected text to clipboard in Program Settings→Clipboard. The Send Enter choice, when invoked in a TN3270 and TN5250 session will first move the cursor to the clicked location, thus, for example, allowing the selection of ISPF menu using the mouse.

Middle button
 

The middle button offers the same kinds of actions as the right button, such as showing the menu, extending the selection or pasting.

Right button with Ctrl
 

This is the action used when the right button is clicked together with Ctrl. The choices are the same as for the middle and right button.

Mouse wheel
 

This option offers a list of choices for the action that the mouse wheel performs. These are mostly obvious, except the Smart mode: In smart mode, the wheel enters scrollback except when a remote application (e.g. Linux VIM, screen, MC, etc.) has switched the terminal to alternate-screen mode, where the mouse wheel will move the cursor. Essentially this means that the mouse wheel will enter scrollback while you are in a Linux shell, but it will move the cursor while you are in a screen based application.

Wheel action with Ctrl
 

This is the action for the mouse wheel while Ctrl is held. On Windows the list also includes Change Fontsize.

Wheel speed
 

This sets how far the wheel moves: Fastest, Faster, Fast, Normal, Slow or One line.

Word delimiters
 

When double clicking on screen to mark a word, the list of word-delimiters characters will determine which characters are considered part of a word and which will stop the mark.
