Defining Desktop triggers

Static triggers

Clicking once is called ``single-clicking''. Clicking twice in quick succession, without moving the mouse pointer, is called ``double-clicking'' or ``activating''. Single and double clicks are referred to as ``static'' triggers because the mouse does not move during the action.

To make the rules as portable as possible, the static triggers are pre-defined with names as follows:


select
single-click on an icon picture

alt_select
single-click on an icon picture with mouse button 2

rename
single-click on an icon title

alt_rename
single-click on an icon title with mouse button 2

activate
double-click on an icon

alt_activate
double-click on an icon with mouse button 2

deselect
single-click on a window background

report
double-click on a window background

alt_report
double-click on a window background with mouse button 2

s*
matches any static trigger
