Description Dmitry Bolkhovityanov 2001-08-27 05:47:46 UTC 
In Motif when Ctrl+clicking on scrollbar arrows or "pages", the slider goes
to the beginning/end of scrollbar (that is performed by TopOrBottom()
action).  This is very handy and there's no reason for Gtk+ to not support
it (in companion with middle-button scrolling which seems to be already
added).

Thanks,
Dmitry

Shouldn't do any harm to add this, since the standard behavior
for control-click has only to do with selection.
Comment 2 Owen Taylor 2002-02-27 00:27:10 UTC 
Right now GTK+ does bind right click to mean this, and does
the same thing for GtkSpinBUtton. Perhaps we need to consider
again in the future if we add right-click to give a context
menu on the spin buttons.

*middle* click, for scroll bars.
