A while back, Joe Pluta had an article somewhere (don't remember where)
where he told of something he did.

He mapped the following mouse functions:

wheelDown --> showAll
wheelUp --> filterSelection

Then, one can highlight a selection (variable name or any other text for
that matter) and mouse-wheel-up. Viola. Only the lines with that variable
(or other text) are shown. Mouse-wheel-down and the entire source is shown.
This isn't exactly what you're looking for, but I've found it to be very
handy.

If it isn't helpful, just ignore this. If it IS helpful, I can't take
credit anyway. :)

I'm not generally a mouser, but it would be nice to have this in the
archives or wiki. Could you share the exact mouse event and action here?
