Proposal to add a feature

[Igonik]

Now we can only assign function to single mouse button click. It would be usefull if we can assign different functions for single and double click on mouse button.
For example:
Mouse button 4 single click: Copy (Ctrl + C)
Mouse button 4 double click: Cut (Ctrl + X)

Hi,

I'm sure I have discussed this with others before and found it was impossible. At mouse hook level, (which is where XMBC operates) it is impossible to determine the difference between double click and single click. And whats more, you would have to wait "double click time" after every click before you can work out if you should send a single click action or a double click action which would delay ever mouse button a significant amount of time, thus making it virtually pointless.


Thanks,
Phil

Regarding

"you would have to wait "double click time" after every click before you can work out

In common case this is true, but exceptional pairs of operations exists, when single click operation can be performed immediatly after first click and second click operation can be performed after second click:

1. classic windows: first click - select icon; second click - launch icon
2. my example: first click - Copy (Ctrl + C); second click - Cut (Ctrl + X)
or the same: first click - Copy (Ctrl + C); second click - Delete (Delete)

Also we can give to a user following options:
- Check box: Wait for second click befor single click operation performing
- Check box: Do not perform single click operation on double click



Regarding:

"At mouse hook level, (which is where XMBC operates) it is impossible to determine the difference between double click and single click"

May be i do not know something, but i do not understand why if we can hook single click, we could not hook double click. Here https://rapidshare.com/files/4115702760/GlobalHook.zip is Net C# solution where global double click hooking is implemented ( + options mentioned above). In that solution i used http://www.codeproject.com/KB/cs/globalhook.aspx. For running the solution MS Net Framework 2.0 or above is required.

Thanks,
Im pretty sure the I have tried hooking the double clink in XMBC with no success but I'll take another look when I have some time.
