      A few other java editor related questions:

No, sorry - not yet possible to bind mouse buttons.
I know it's a bit uncomfortable to get used to different buttons.
My motivation to change patterns was this:
- left click is for selecting on most systems and apps
- middle click for deleting because it seems most unlikely to
  accidently click the middle button (just my personal opinion)
- right click for insertion as that button remains free

It was a bit tricky to get the buttons working for all systems,
including support for single-button-mice, and considering the
protocol for middle-button is wacky on some systems.
So I didn't really want to complicate things further by
allowing customized buttons.

      2) The types.txt has a pretty clear format.  Is there any mechanism to

I didn't include tools to modify the types.txt file automatically.
However, I tried to keep the format as readable as possible, so
changes can be made without too much trouble of learning the format.

To change the mentioned armour field for example, works like this:
- Open types.txt and run a search for the armour type,
  "Brestplate Armour" that would be in this case I think.
- In the Armour type definitions, look for the attribute "last_heal"
  and change that into "gen_sp_armour". - Done.
