Using Mouse Buttons

The buttons on your three-button mouse work like this:

 

Button	Action	Purpose	How to Use It
Left	Select	Selects or edits object. Scrolls in windows and panes.	Move the cursor over the object and click.
Middle	Paste	Writes information previously copied or cut into the clipboard.	Move the cursor to the insertion point and click. Not all windows support pasting.
	Dive	Displays more information or replaces window contents.	Move the cursor over an object, then click.
Right	Context menu	Displays a menu with commonly used commands.	Move the cursor over an object and click. Most windows and panes have context menus; dialog boxes do not have context menus.

In most cases, a single-click selects an object while and a double-click dives on the object. However, if the field is editable, TotalView enters edit mode, so you can alter the selected item's value.

In some areas, such as the Stack Trace Pane, selecting a line performs an action. In this pane, TotalView dives on the selected routine. (In this case, diving means that TotalView finds the selected routine and shows it in the Source Pane.)

In the line number area of the Source Pane, a left mouse click sets a breakpoint at that line, displaying a icon instead of a line number.

Selecting the icon a second time deletes the breakpoint. If you change any of the breakpoint’s properties or if you’ve created an eval point (indicated by an icon), selecting the icon disables it. For more information on breakpoints and eval points, see Chapter 16, “Setting Action Points”.
