Epsilon User's Manual and Reference >
Variable Reference >
catch-mouse: preference variable
Default value: varies
If nonzero, Epsilon queues up mouse events. If zero, Epsilon ignores
the mouse.
Under DOS, various values of catch_mouse correspond to
settings of the -km, -kc and -kw switches. A setting of 1 gives
default mouse behavior. A setting of 2 makes the mouse cursor
invisible, like -kc0. A setting of 3 makes Epsilon uses absolute
positioning, like -km1. A setting of 4 makes Epsilon use absolute
positioning with an invisible mouse cursor, like -kw, the correct
setting for windowed environments.
If you run Epsilon for DOS under Microsoft Windows full-screen, be
sure to set catch-mouse to 4 before you press Alt-Enter to switch
to a window. You can set catch-mouse back to 1 when you return
Epsilon to full-screen. The same comments apply when running the DOS
version under OS/2 PM.
