Message-ID: <200205211557.g4LFvW127045@aztec.santafe.edu> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <ilulmaeoblq.fsf@latte.josefsson.org> (message from Simon Josefsson on Mon, 20 May 2002 21:36:33 +0200)
Why does emacs use mouse-2 for activating hyperlinks, buttons etc?
Because these buffers are usually read-only, which means that the
normal definition of mouse-2 (yank) is not applicable.
The normal definition of mouse-1 is perfectly meaningful in these
buffers. It seems like a bad idea to replace it with something
incompatible and make the normal definition of mouse-1 unavailable.
Do you have a precise proposal that you think is ok?
