bug#426: 23.0.60; C-h k <down-mouse-2> in *Calendar* does not work

[Peter Dyballa]

Hello!

I was wondering why the mouse-2 menu ("Calendar") does not provide  
anymore the option to view the diary entries of the selected day. In  
GNU Emacs 22.2.1 the pop-up menu is titled "<date>" of that day and  
offers to view this day's diary entries, which is now on mouse-3.

Typing C-h k and then pressing mouse-2 does to tell the key binding  
but lets the menu pop up. (Actually the behaviour is the same with C- 
h k <down-mouse-3> in GNU Emacs 22.2's *Calendar* buffer: in echo  
area down-mouse-3- [or down-mouse-2-] is printed, obviously waiting  
for further input.)

Stefan,


I think the above means "why have mouse-2 and mouse-3 swapped bindings
in the calendar".

This exchange was part of your 2007-07-25 change. Was there a reason
for it, or was it just a slip?

It's waiting for you to select a menu item, then you will be told the
binding of that item.

Ah, I see.  I first thought you had installed that change and concluded
that "great minds think alike".  It was a slip.  I do think that the
mouse-2 binding is closer to the usual "context menu" traditionally
bound to mouse-3, since it is context-dependent contrary to the mouse-3
binding which is a buffer-global binding, which is why I had switched
them in my local tree, with the intention to propose this change.
Then I mistakenly installed it as part of something else.

Feel free to revert it, although I do think it's a good change.

Sorry, I think I *now* finally realised that the two menus where just  
swapped. And there *is* the option to view a date's diary entries I  
missed earlier today ...

There must be more changed. In GNU Emacs 22.2 I can 'C-h k <down- 
mouse-2>' and a *Help* buffer opens telling me (excerpt, <mouse-2>  
left out):

	<down-mouse-2> at that spot runs the command calendar-mouse-2-date-menu
	  which is an interactive Lisp function in `cal-menu.el'.
	It is bound to <down-mouse-2>.
	(calendar-mouse-2-date-menu EVENT)

'C-h k <down-mouse-3>' in GNU Emacs 23.0.60 does not produce the same  
(telling cal-menu-context-mouse-menu's name). This is consistent with  
<down-mouse-3> in GNU Emacs 22.2, although another menu (or just a  
key mapping, calendar-mouse-3-map?). GNU Emacs 22.2 at least tells me  
what one menu is ...


And the swap introduced a bug: in a floating tip window I get told  
that mouse-2 will open a menu of operations for this date, which is  
wrong.

That's a deliberate change.  Emacs-22 allowed you to figure out which
command brings up a menu whereas Emacs-23 allows you to figure out which
command is triggered by any particular menu entry.

Sadly, you can't easily have both.  But in case you want to know: there
is now *no* command that brings up the menu.  Instead mouse-3 is
directly bound to the menu, without any intervening command.

Fine by me. I have updated various related bits of documentation and
am closing this.
