I have 3 monitors. I try to avoid using the mouse, but sometimes I need to use it in other applications. When I move the mouse from one of my other screens into the screen running emacs, the first command I type will always fail with a minibuffer error e.g. C-c is undefined This is rather frustrating. I was hoping that somebody on this list could help me to configure emacs to avoid taking the mouse-movement input as part of a key command. My configuration is largely available here if it is relevant: https://github.com/fommil/unix Best regards, Sam
