NCSA Mosaic for MS Windows User Guide: Introduction


Use of the Mouse and Mouse Buttons
The mouse is the main navigational tool used within the NCSA Mosaic window. Unless otherwise specified, NCSA Mosaic for Microsoft Windows mouse actions require pressing the left button (see "Shortcut Keys" on page 6-3).
- Holding the SHIFT key and pressing the left mouse button while the cursor is pointing to a hyperlink cause the file associated with that hyperlink to be saved to local disk instead of being displayed in the document view area. The file transfer is performed in binary mode. This action is equivalent to setting Load to Disk on the Options menu for a single file.
- When Display Inline Images on the Options menu is turned off, an icon is displayed to hold the place of each inlined image. Clicking on one of these place-holding icons with the right mouse button causes the corresponding inlined image to be displayed. If the icon is part of a hyperlink, clicking the left button causes NCSA Mosaic to follow the hyperlink. Clicking the right button causes the image to be loaded and displayed without following the hyperlink.
