I agree with all of your views. The default behaviour should be that a "normal" mouse-1 click follows a link. The problem is how to not break external packages like preview-latex or AUCTex. But CVS emacs is still far from being released, and I guess that if we make a clean interface how to inhibit the mapping for specific links, the package authors will have plenty of time to adapt their code for CVS emacs. > - use the keyboard (set mark; move point) Make that: click mouse-1 outside the link, move into the link with the keyboard > - press mouse-1 a little longer As my patch does, and it works nicely! and you forgot: - drag mouse-1 inside the link (you may drag it back to the character you clicked on, so you don't really mark a region). > - click mouse-1 with a modifier (e.g. C-S-mouse-1) I don't see a need for this. Better reserve such bindings for future enhancements. BTW, I agree that S-mouse-1 wastes a good mouse binding, as you can easily get the same function from the menu Options > Set font/fontset. I wish I could use S-mouse-1 to start marking a rectangle in CUA. -- Kim F. Storm http://www.cua.dk
