Trouble enabling mouse in the "/etc/lfrc" sample file

[Jeff-411]

I'm using the r27 release for Windows. I'm running C:\\Program Files\\Git\\bin\\bash.exe in Windows Terminal.

I'm new to LF, and really liking it. I've copied the /etc/lfrc example file to ~AppsData/local/lf/ and:

1. Changed: set shell sh to set shell bash.
2. Added: set dropbox to make sure things were working.
3. Tried: left & right mouse clicks => no results.
4. Tried: adding set mouse => "unknown mapping: " errors <m-1> <m-2> <m-up> <m-down>.
5. Tried: adding set mouse! => same "unknown mapping: " errors.

I'm obviously missing some (mapping?) step here. Could somebody point me in the right direction to get LF's mouse features working?

TIA ~ Jeff

Full mouse support was added in #963 and hasn't made it into a release yet. If you want to use it you can build lf from source.

Thanks p-ouellette.

Hi @p-ouellette , how can I manually map the same behaviour as #963 while I wait for an official release?

[p-ouellette]

@Susensio you can't get the same behavior, but you can create mappings for mouse buttons (there's no click position information).
See this section of the documentation:

lf/doc.go

Lines 1066 to 1082 in aa78b26

	Mouse buttons are prefixed with 'm' character:
	map <m-1> down # primary
	map <m-2> down # secondary
	map <m-3> down # middle
	map <m-4> down
	map <m-5> down
	map <m-6> down
	map <m-7> down
	map <m-8> down
	Mouse wheel events are also prefixed with 'm' character:
	map <m-up> down
	map <m-down> down
	map <m-left> down
	map <m-right> down
