Severity: wishlist

Maybe we should explain mouse-1, mouse-2, etc. in "(emacs) Keys"?
It's an unusual notation that isn't introduced before its used.  The
same goes for Drag-mouse-1 and probably related keys.

You can see what we have, and in what section it appears, by searching
for "mouse-1" from the start of the manual.  AFAICT, an explanation
only shows up later, in "(emacs) Mouse Commands".

This doesn't belong to keys, IMO.  I think we should mention it more
prominently in "User Input", and then have a separate chapter right
after "Keys" dedicated to mouse clicks.

I've now taken a stab at this, but I was unsure how much detail to go in
here.  Feel free to shorten/expand.
