Disable copy to kill-ring with mouse-drag

Disable copy to kill-ring with mouse-drag

[Sandip Chitale]

I really really really want to disable the copy-to-kill-ring behaviour
with mouse-drag.

I tried to comment out the code in mouse.el after finding out the call
sequence using edebug. Here is the backtrace:

  kill-new(#("kill-new" 0 8 (lazy-lock t face
font-lock-function-name-face)))
  copy-region-as-kill(65110 65102)
  mouse-drag-region((down-mouse-1 (#<window 80 on simple.el> 65102 (62
. 232) 21804553)))
* call-interactively(mouse-drag-region)

I commented the code in mouse.el. Byte compiled it and somehow the
behaviour is still there.

Anyone has any ideas?

mouse.el[c] is dumped into the emacs executable (see loadup.el).

Thanks for the info Kevin. I did figure it out by looking at the
emacs.exe and then looking at the makefiles and some google searches.

Now I am reloading the my version of mouse.elc at the very top of my
.emacs. That does the trick. Is that the bet way? I was uanable to
dump the emacs on Windows XP.

Thansk anyway,

I would put just your modified version of mouse-drag-region in its own
mouse-drag-region.el file, with (require 'mouse) at the top just to be
macro-safe; compile it into a .elc; and load it like this:

(eval-after-load "mouse" '(load "mouse-drag-region"))
