Hi! As this is my first post to the list: hello, I'm the one that ported (or broke, depending on your the point of view) dillo 0.8.6 for the iRex iLiad e-book reader; my alias in mobileread.com is Antartica. I've been reading the lists for some time now, but didn't thought I had anything to share yet. But... I agree with Justus in that panning is the easiest method to scroll in embedded devices; the scroll bar is very small and enlarging it wastes too much screen state. For the iliad port of dillo 0.8.6 I did exactly what Justus is proposing of left-button-does-panning (albeit in a hackish way, as I hardcoded that behaviour). For reference, the patch to old dillo 0.8.6 is in: http://projects.mobileread.com/iliad/users/antartica/dillo/dillo-patch-split... I was actually doing the same for dillo2, but only have it partly-done (see attach). I would love to have Justus code merged in mainline, as it implements that functionality neatly and it would alleviate me from finishing my hack :). Right now I can't test Justus patch, but I had one error to fix in mine: it didn't pan when showing images. Its worth checking if Justus patch have that right. Anyway, you all are doing an excellent job in keeping dillo relevant. It is really a nice piece of work :). Congrats.

This is particulary useful for embedded devices with touch screens. In order to select text you have to double click and drag the pointer.

Note that this functionality is disabled by default and can be enabled by the easy_panning directive in the configuration file with the exception of the selection behavior which is located in dw/selection.cc and lacks a reference to the prefs struct by design (dw is a toolkit and frontend agnostic).

I think that dw needs an interface to tweak it's behaviour ie dw_config(DW_DOUBLECLICK_TO_SELECT, true). Any ideas?
