filter-mouse : Generic mouse event translator

filter-mouse: [<file>]

This filter translates mouse events according to a set of translation rules.

file

The name of the configuration file. If none given, the filter will first look for the file filter/mouse in the user GGI directory ($HOME/.ggi/ on UNIX), then in the base GGI directory if not found.

The translation rules are specified through a simple text file. The following example gives a good idea of the mouse filter usage. A CW# marks the rest of the line as a comment.

A set of mouse translation rules:
