Wake Up!

Comon now people ... dont forget that Macintosh has no "right click" it simply uses your right mouse button to CTRL+LeftClick ... thus when you chord right and left ... its the same as if you issued a left click and a control left click ... since the window manager ignores control clicks on the titlebar ... its the exact same thing as double left clicking ... try holding CRTL and double clicking the titlebar ... still works? ... case in point

hmm... except that it DOESN'T work in Finder with my wacom (right button programmed to perform a ctrl+click). I thought this too, but I can't get it to work.

Also, if I "double right click" in a cocoa title bar, nada, zip, zilch. Hold down control and double LEFT click (SHOULD be the same thing, right?), the window vanishes to the dock.

Oddness. In a carbon app, double left, double "right" and double control clicks all minimise the window, but a simulclick of both buttons WON'T minimise it.

There's definitely something odd going on here. I don't reckon there's any ACTUAL second button stuff going on. My guess is that using a driver to program a CTRL click via one button is somehow different - when you manually perform a ctrl click, you hold ctrl BEFORE strking the mouse button. Perhaps the driver software handles this differently and hits them both simultaneously, perhaps allowing the "click" to get through the CTRL modifier.

However, THAT doesn't explain why a double right click doesn't minimize the dang cocoa window... or does it?
