I'm working on an accessibility assessment for KOffice and KDE.
Does anyone know if it is possible to "drag" a divider in order to resize
panels without using a mouse. Using Mouse Emulation (Alt+F12), I can
position the mouse pointer overtop the divider and the mouse pointer icon
changes to a drag icon. But what next? Pressing spacebar does a single
click and leaves Mouse Emulation mode. Is there a keystroke that will
simulate a "click and hold mouse button down" during Mouse Emulation mode?
Also, is there a keystroke to simulate a mouse right-click in Mouse Emulation
mode? Is there some other way to resize panels in a window separated using
dividers?
The X11 Mouse manpage mentions a DragLockButtons option, but doesn't specify
any defaults.
Related question. The default key for Popup Context Menu is the Menu button.
On my US keyboard, this is a button on the right-hand side between the
Windows key and the Ctrl key. It has a little menu icon on it. The Menu key
seems to work only within certain apps. For example, within Konversation and
KMail, it displays the right-click context menu when focus is on most
widgets. But in the KWord (1.4.1) main window, it does not. Is this because
KWord overrides something?
Thanks
