The following are not defined by default, at least in most Emacs modes: C-M-mouse-1, C-S-mouse-1, M-S-mouse-1. -----Original Message-----From: Kim F. Storm In the case of gnus attachments, you can click mouse-1 to THE RIGHT of the button and still be able to use the key bindings. Alternatively, you can drag mouse-1 in the link to set point there. I generally want to avoid messing with mouse-2 or mouse-3 -- as the major deviation from common GUI standards only affects mouse-1. The major problem with mouse-2 is when you only have a two-button mouse... Sure. We need to find a way to DTRT in cases where mouse-1 is needed.
