Subject: mouse-1 on minor-mode lighter in mode line could bring up the minor mode's menu
Date: Sat, 4 Nov 2006 10:41:58 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <EIENLHALHGIMHGDOLMIMGEHMCMAA.drew.adams@oracle.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <E1Fa2ES-0003oy-Bj@fencepost.gnu.org>

For consideration after the release:

Mouse-1 on a minor-mode lighter in the mode line does nothing special - it
just runs `mouse-drag-mode-line'. When a minor mode has its own menu, why
not display that for mouse-1, just as we do for major modes?

[Note: This is a different suggestion from what was discussed in thread
"mode-line major and minor mode help text and bindings" of 2006-04-29. The
part of that discussion that concerned minor-mode menus was about mouse-3:
