The active screen area can also be moved to the left with an option.

This active area was born after massive brainstorm at http://n8xx.com and i find it surprisingly useful, because it make it possible to hold tabled and scroll page smoothly with one hand and it is also less sensive to accident vibrations than scrollbar.
I released 0.1.8.2 today - the last tear-improvements version. Please excuse me, i forgot about backspace key
But added checkboxes in menu for disabling scrolling indicator and active area scrolling.
Since Bundyo gave me access to tear SVN repository, there is no need in tear-improvements anymore. I will integrate my changes to Tear code tree.

Mitrandir, nice touch with the active area on the right: until now I had not understood at all, and was wondering why part of the screen was scrolling the opposite way from the rest :-)
Now that I know it feels very natural. Same for the "reload" button...
I also thought it was some kind of weird bug, because I tryed to kinetic scroll and it seemed to go backwards. Now that it is explained, I agree it is really useful.
And thanks for fixing the "link clicking while trying to scroll" problem, it was the worst for me.

Would it be possible to change Tear so that when you mark text it marks as you drag?

Isn't holding the menu key working?
There is a new feature in Maemo 5 version - a Scroll Lock - with which you can enable the selection mode for a time. Maybe Mitrandir can backport it.

Let me also say how happy that Mitrandir (& Kroll?) are contributing to the official Tear project instead of permanently forking it. I'm very excited about this!

It seems that active-area-scrolling method needs some popup with explanations when user enables it
For Diablo at least

All times are GMT. The time now is 02:56.
Mitrandir, nice touch with the active area on the right: until now I had not understood at all, and was wondering why part of the screen was scrolling the opposite way from the rest :-)

BTW, maybe versioning the "with tear-improvements" in Tear's About box might be useful ?
Thanks again for your work. I, too, use Tear 99,xx% of the time when on the N810, and I'm glad to see it move again!
(and please don't forget "my" backspace key ? :-)
