From the MenuBar select Options:Mouse or select the Mouse icon from the ToolBar.

NOTE  Options that work together or that are dependent upon each other are grouped within the horizontal lines.

Mouse Options Tab

Options ----

• Highlight Word for Copy/Paste on Mouse Left Double-Click: If enabled, a Mouse Left Double-Click on a word, will automatically select the entire word so that you can copy and paste more efficiently.  Once the word is selected (highlighted), you can either copy it to the Windows Clipboard, or you can use your mouse to drag and drop the highlighted word to another Windows OLE compliant application like Word or Excel.

TIP  The OLE Drag and Drop Feature is not limited to just one word.  You can also select blocks of text (or even the whole screen) and drag it to your OLE compliant application.

• Include Trailing Space: As an option you can include the trailing space at the end of the word if desired.

• Send Function Enter on Mouse Left Double-Click: If enabled, a Mouse Left Double-Click acts as if you pressed the Enter key.

• Attempt to set Cursor Position on Mouse Left Double-Click: If enabled, this feature will attempt (see note below) to reposition the cursor to any place on the screen where the Mouse is Left Double-Clicked.

• Instead, have a Mouse Left Single-Click Attempt to Set Cursor Position: This changes the feature to operate with a Left Single-Click.

NOTE  This feature may no work with all host types.  Generally speaking, when connected to a host session, if you can move the position of the cursor with your arrow keys then this feature will most likely work.  Some hosts unfortunately, will not support this functionality.

• Display Popup Menu on Mouse Right Click: If selected, the BlueZone VT menu pop-up menu will be displayed when the mouse right button is clicked.

TIP  The Popup Menu is very handy.  This menu allows you to directly select many key functions and features.  For example, you can copy and paste, select text, access the printer setup dialog, enable logging, access the edit properties dialog, connect a session, disconnect a session, access display options, access keyboard options, toggle between 80 and 132 columns, jump screen, as well as others.

• Send Function on Mouse Right Click: If enabled, the Mouse Right Click will send the chosen function from the provided list.
