3.1 Mouse Control

Click on any part of the Bunao program activates that part.

1) the Bunao menu and toolbar are always available; clicking on them activates the menu operation

2) clicking on the config pane (center window) adjusts the configuration for the current module

3) click on the module pane (right window) will select the module you picked and put up its configuration pane. Note that until you add the module to the tree as child or sib, the changes you make are "fluid", that is they don't correspond to any part of the tree yet. You can tell if the configuration pane is fluid when the Fluid indicator lights up on the top left of the configuratin pane.

4) clicking on the tree pane (left window) moves the tree cursor. If you were in solid mode, then the middle window changes to reflect the configuration of the selected node. If you were in fluid mode, the middle window DOES NOT change.

Because the add sib/child commands are always relative to the current position of the tree cursor, this important feature lets you pick a module and position it anywhere you want without first having to move the tree cursor.

If the mouse is in the configuration pane, as soon as it leaves the conf pane, the tree is updated to reflect the latest changes (if using keyboard, this can be forced with F1 or F3, etc).

Clicking the middle mouse button and dragging on a node (called the source node) moves that node to some other position inthe tree (target node). As you move across the other nodes in the tree, a square highlight is drawn. This marks where the source node will be moved to. If you are on the left of the target node, it will be added as a sibling (and the icon changes to sibs); if you are on the right of the node, it adds as a child.

Dragging with the right mouse button draw a selection rectangle around a set of nodes. The nodes must be adjacent siblings. These can now be cut/paste/del as a group.
