Can anyone remember which keys control the mouse?
« on: December 09, 2007, 01:49:55 PM »
Hi all,

I'm attempting to test some hardware on a spare A1200 motherboard I have here.  I've got it all booting up and everything, but I've misplaced the plug-in connector for the mouse.  Because of this I'm having to use the keyboard to navigate the mouse pointer, and I can remember that if you hold the Amiga key and then press the cursors you can navigate it up, down, left and right.  But I can't remember how to do left clicks and right clicks.

I've done some googling but it's hard to know what to enter for the search terms and I'm not coming up with anything useful.  Can anyone remember?

Brian

Rarely used, but priceless when it's required.

Use it all the time.  Sometimes because I'm lazy and LAmiga+Alt is easy to press.  Usually for doing detail work when you can't move the mouse in a straight line an exact number of pixels.  Lately because most of my mouses have intermittent cables.
I have noticed there are programs that don't work right that way.  You can't drag and drop in IBrowse without a mouse.
