Mouse Move steels current file selection

Post by *Unicycle »

When I have targeted a file and want to operate on it - I continously have effort to ensure I am still on the same file, because mouse moves (even small and inadvertently ones) allways could have changed the target.

Workarounds like moving the mouse out of the tab do not solve the problem.

Hi and welcome to the forum.

I guess that you have enabled
Configuration->Options->Operation : [x] Open Files and directories with a single click
Downside of this setting is that the text cursor follows the mouse position by default.

This behavior can be modified by directly editing the wincmd.ini
- Configuration -> Change Settings Files Directly
- In wincmd.ini modify the line
SingleClickStart=1
to
SingleClickStart=5

From F1:Help
4. Configuration and switches,b. INI-File settings: wincmd.ini (1: Configuration.. wrote:SingleClickStart=0
0: Double click starts programs (default)
1: A single click starts programs and opens files (Win98 WEB style)
2: A single click only opens folders. For files, a double click is needed
4 added: The text cursor no longer follows the mouse cursor
My personal preferred setting for this is
SingleClickStart=6
- single click for navigation
- double click to open files

Regards
Holger
