[RP] mouse stuff (you guys are gonna kill me for this one)

[fist_187]

hi-

yes, i'm fully aware of the possible backlash from making feature 
requests involving the mouse.  but hear me out on this one...

i've used ratpoison exclusively for over a year now because:
   1. it doesnt waste processing time or screen space with window 
decorations, or any other crap
   2. my application windows never have to overlap EVER
   3. its scriptable, so i can instantly (re)create the frameset for 
layouts i use often.


so as far as i'm concerned, being able to get by without the mouse is 
just a pleasant side effect.  if my hands are on the keyboard, i can 
still switch through my applications & move them around by using 
keyboard shortcuts, where most other WM's would have me grab the mouse. 
 cool.


but i'd like to suggest the following corollary:

say i'm surfing around with mozilla, so i have one hand on the mouse and 
the other on my keyboard.  for whatever reason, i want to change 
frames... so what if i could just hit [C-t] and then left-mouse-click on 
the frame i wanted to make current?  that would save me a step or 2.

you could do a lot of things with [C-t]+mouse-button combinations that 
make good navigational sense.  for example:
[C-t]+leftmouse - select frame below cursor
[C-t]+rightmouse - same as "[C-t]:select -" on frame below cursor
[C-t]+middlemouse - same as "[C-t]:other" on frame below cursor
[C-t]+mwheelup - same as "[C-t]:prev" on frame below cursor
[C-t]+mwheeldown - same as "[C-t]:next" on frame below cursor

you get the idea.  yes, ratpoision eliminates the dependence on the 
mouse... but that doesnt mean a mouse is useless.  basically, i want the 
"freedom to leave my hands where they are" option that ratpoison gives 
to the keyboard... except applied to the mouse as well.

what do the rest of you think?
