- mouse support:
move to the next and previous month. Using mouse buttons or scroll wheel.
You can configure this by specifying the button to move to next/previous.
Usually these are configured as follows. If you want to use other mouse buttons, you can find their number using `xev`.
| number | button |
|--------|---------------|
| 4 | scroll up |
| 5 | scroll down |
| 1 | left click |
| 2 | right click |
| 3 | middles click |
By default `previous_month_button` is 5, `next_month_button` is 4.
## How to use
This widget needs an 'anchor' - another widget which triggers visibility of the calendar. Default `mytextclock` is the perfect candidate!
Just after mytextclock is instantiated, create the widget and add the mouse listener to it.
```lua
local calendar_widget = require("awesome-wm-widgets.calendar-widget.calendar")
-- ...
-- Create a textclock widget
mytextclock = wibox.widget.textclock()
-- default
local cw = calendar_widget()
-- or customized
local cw = calendar_widget({
theme = 'outrun',
placement = 'bottom_right',
start_sunday = true,
radius = 8,
-- with customized next/previous (see table above)
previous_month_button = 1,
next_month_button = 3,
})
mytextclock:connect_signal("button::press",
function(_, _, _, button)
if button == 1 then cw.toggle() end
end)
```
