User cannot answer this minibuffer question,
How many articles from mail.misc (635 default):
with just one mouse click.
I must hit
RET (translated from <return>) runs the command exit-minibuffer (found
in minibuffer-local-map), which is an interactive compiled Lisp
function in ‘minibuffer.el’.
It is bound to C-j, RET, <menu-bar> <minibuf> <return>.
(exit-minibuffer)
Terminate this minibuffer argument.
Note I have menu-bar turned off.
And even if I have it turned on, one click on the word "default" etc.
would beat poking around in menus.
Also,
Save file /nibblesford.txt? (y, n, !, ., q, C-r, C-f, d or C-h)
Do allow the user to click on a letter too.

Please describe what you did to trigger the problem. It is not at all
evident from what you told in your report.

RET (translated from <return>) runs the command

(Sure, just hit RET again. But how about a one click solution too?)
C-x s runs the command save-some-buffers, giving

Emacs 28 comes with the context menu where you can select
an item to exit the minibuffer with one mouse click.

Context menu? Sounds like two clicks.
(My emacs-version "27.1")

No, just one click: press the right button
and release it on the menu item "Minibuf -> Enter".

Still takes poking around in menus for what should be a simple point and
click operation.

I think doing so would be highly unintuitive, so I don't think we should
be adding magic mouse-1 clicks to the minibuffer questsions, and I'm
closing this bug report.
