Release key after Drag function

[derycck]

I couldn't find a way to release the mouse button after using the drag function (press v). In the code I read a comment on line 422 informing that this could be implemented in the future.

Is there an estimated date for this implementation?

obs: thanks for the scriipt. Help me a lot!

i believe that pressing v again after beginning to drag cleanly releases the drag (or it did on one of my computers but may have never been pushed to github... ) please let me know if this is not the case as i no longer have access to a computer running windows . in the meanwhile , clicking again with i has the additional effect of releasing the drag , and works desirably in most cases .

"pressing v again after beginning to drag " does not work.

"clicking again with i has the additional effect of releasing the drag" does not work. The 'i' button generates a click and not a release of the button. When using the windows native tool to take screenshot of a part of the screen (power, shift, s), generating a click does not end the screenshot, being necessary to release the button.

As your code is very readable, I was able to understand and adapt it to release the mouse button when releasing the capslock.

The adaptation was:

Creation of the global variable: DRAG_MODE := false

Adapt the drag funcion to update the variable drag_mode: Drag() { Click, Down DRAG_MODE := true }

Creation of the function: UnDrag() { Click, Up DRAG_MODE := false }

in the "EnterInsertMode" function, add:

If (DRAG_MODE == true)

UnDrag() }

Now the behavior is:

I hold capslock, press the v key, make the selection, release the capslock key.

I didn't make a pull request because I didn't know if the repository was abandoned and because the adaptation does not contemplate the various ways of using your script, but only the process with normal-quick-mode. It's just a quick-fix. hehe

thanks from Brazil

no worries & thanks for the code snippet I'll go ahead and fill in the gaps and then push an update later today . saúde !
