I have been working on fixing up Textmode IDE and some related packages (Free Vision, rtl-console) One of the recent large improvement is scrolling by mouse. I am happy how it turned out. Currently mouse scroll events are going under evMouseDown. But it does have some unwanted side effects in existing code. Mouse click triggered by scrolling. For FV and IDE I have fixed most of them. Maybe to add new mouse event type just for scrolling events (evMouseWheel as it is done in https://github.com/magiblot/tvision )? It would go a long way to support existing code base. Even thou mouse scrolling was introduced in 3.2.0 but limited only for Unix/Linux systems and its usage might be minimal. More or less I am looking for an approval and necessary changes I am ready to implement. In this context the true question is: am I allowed to look around and get inspiration (or copy) of other open source projects? Earlier mentioned Turbo Vision (in C++) project has MIT license and a lot of great ideas implemented. Do I go as far and make identical variable and function naming and use the same implementation details? Direct translation is not possible and I am not looking for that. Margers

I tested the changes, works really well :-)

I think this new mouse event type is a good idea.

I would implement as you see fit, but add a reference in the header:

{
Feature XYZ inspired by implementation in https://github.com/magiblot/tvision/XYZ }

This way you give due credit to the original author.
