In a number of playthroughs I've seen players somehow open a window with a big picture of a targeted enemy and weapons in his hands. For example, here, at 34:48. https://youtu.be/xyPLPav-p4Y?t=2088
How can I do that?
Answer: OXCE+ only. Doesn't work if middle-click is set for drag scroll.
Add line battleDragScrollButton: 0 to the configuration file
In Battlescape options set Drag Scroll to left or right button or disable it
and click middle mouse button (or the wheel).

I found it by accident by middle clicking on an enemy, the mouse wheel also gets the job done. Don't know if ot is a key on the keyboard but seems it's an opencom extended/extended+ feature. Someone may confirm?
-
Yes, that's an extended feature, clicking the mouse wheel over the enemy will show its weapon, rank, and inventory
-
Doesn't work for me. Every time I middle-click an enemy, the red box flies away from the mouse cursor 2 steps right diagonally. And stays there until I move mouse.
Nothing in the log. Can I make it more verbose?
-
Verbose log won't help with this, the log is pretty sparse on player input information, even when verbose. Youobably have mouse-wheel click bound to something other than middle-click in your OS.
-
Also, Just to clarify: This is a feature of the OpenXcom Extended Plus (OXCE+) build. Meridian developed it there and I'm not sure if Yankes has pulled it up into his branch (Extended).
-
Also, I think this conflicts with the middle-click for map scroll option from OXC.

Yes, this is OXCE+. This is X-COM Files mod, which only works with OXCE+. I asked after seeing the feature in an X-COM Files "let's play".

Can I rebuild the binary with some compilation keys to get more information? Or would I need to add extra calls to logging functions?

X Window uses it to insert from one of clipboards. Can that interfere? Any suggestions for KDE?

Closer look for clicks on enemies, dragging for clicks anywhere else. If done correctly, it should not conflict.
Update: Dragging works after I press and hold the middle button. The red box jumps to the right when I press and release it. What about the correct work: does the picture appear for press or for release?
Update 2: There doesn't seem to be any way to disable paste with X or KDE tools. I'll try to map it to another key in sources. Does anybody know the commit? Or at least how does Meridian call it?
Update 3: Was it "Alien Inventory" added in late December-early January 2016-17?
Update 4: Looks like this feature is mutually exclusive with dragging Battlescape with middle button. I enabled it by disabling the line _info.push_back(OptionInfo("battleDragScrollButton", &battleDragScrollButton, SDL_BUTTON_MIDDLE)); in src/Engine/Options.cpp
How can I disable drag-scrolling in Battlescape?
Update 5: Setting battleDragScrollButton: 0 in ~/.config/openxcom/options.cfg helped. I'll leave it that way for now.
I guess, the correct way would be allowing to reassign both actions from Options -> Controls. Does it allow to set mouse clicks to actions?
Update 6: drag scroll can be disabled in Battlescape section of Options.
