Figure 4-5 The Input Editor
This editor controls the characteristics ofthe two standardAmiga input devices, the mouse and the keyboard
Acceleration: Below the mouse-speed slider is a check gadget that lets you turn mouse acceleration on and off. Click once and you turn acceleration on; click again and you turn it off. Acceleration controls how often Workbench draws the image of the pointer as you move the mouse. With acceleration on, Work bench reduces the number of times it draws the pointer, thus making the pointer appear to move faster. Acceleration also cuts down on the amount of room the mouse needs on your desk.
Double click Workbench uses one click of the left mouse button to select objects and a double-click to open an object. It differentiates between a double-click and two single clicks by the amount of time between the clicks. The double-click slider lets you set the maximum time interval between the two clicks that constitute a double-click. If the interval is below the setting the two clicks are interpreted as one double-click; above the setting, and the two clicks are just that — two single clicks. Using the slider, you can adjust the interval from 0.2 seconds to four seconds. Clicking in the slider moves the bar .02 seconds in the direction of the pointer. You can also drag the bar to the desired setting.
