I used to have something in .emacs that caused a yanked piece of text from a mouse copy in other documents to be inserted at emacs point rather than where ever the pointer happens to be. That is, mouse scrape something in a different source, then hovering mouse over document in emacs buffer and pressing mouse 2 to insert it. Currently it gets inserted where ever the mouse is hovering. I want it to insert at the emacs cursor. Found this with M-x apropos I'm not sure if this is related because it is set to t mouse-yank-at-point's value is t *If non-nil, mouse yank commands yank at point instead of at click. You can customize this variable. Defined in `mouse'.
