$window-mode-line(5)

NAME

$window-mode-line - Window mode line position
$window-scroll-bar - Window scroll bar (or separator) position

SYNOPSIS

$window-mode-line integer

1 <= integer <= $screen-depth - 2

$window-scroll-bar integer

0 <= integer <= $screen-width - 1

DESCRIPTION

$window-mode-line stores the screen line of the current windows mode-line, where screen lines are counted from 0 at the top of the screen. Often used in conjunction with set-cursor-to-mouse(2) and $mouse-y(5) to add more complex mouse functionality.

$window-scroll-bar stores the screen position of the right-hand horizontal window separator line or scroll-bar (see split-window-horizontally(2) and $scroll-bar(5)). A value of greater than $screen-width(5) indicates that there is no right-hand separator column or scroll bar present. Often used in conjunction with $mouse-x(5).

EXAMPLE

In the following example the position of the mouse is checked to see if it is on the mode line of the window, if so then a different action is taken.

set-cursor-to-mouse 
;   If we are on the mode line then interpret position of 
;   the cursor on line to control the screen. 
!if &equal $window-mode-line $mouse-y 
    !if &less $mouse-x "2" 
        menu-main     ; Inform buffer to pop up menu. 
    !elif &equal $mouse-x "2" 
        delete-window 
    !elif &equal $mouse-x "3" 
        delete-other-windows 
    !elif &equal $mouse-x "4" 
        backward-page 
    !elif &equal $mouse-x "5" 
        forward-page 
    !elif &equal $mouse-x "6" 
        recenter 
    !elif &equal $mouse-x "7" 
        undo 
    !endif 
!else 
    ..... 
!endif
