It's not intended to do so, I'm afraid; using the secondary selection is hardcoded for that stuff. Mmh, maybe we should try to modify the default mouse-1 behavior instead. Can you try the following: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- (defun mouse-drag-region-restore-point-advice (f e) (let ((opoint (with-selected-window (posn-window (event-start e)) (point)))) (prog1 (funcall f e) (run-with-idle-timer 0 nil (lambda (win pos) (with-selected-window win (deactivate-mark) (goto-char pos))) (selected-window) opoint)))) (advice-add 'mouse-drag-region :around #'mouse-drag-region-restore-point-advice) --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- Does that behave as you want it to?
