Subject: bug#38013: [PATCH] Rectangular region selection with mouse
Date: Sun, 3 Nov 2019 13:51:31 -0800 (PST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <10a910e6-6981-4f23-8e46-24db4ce3392f@default> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <75EC4FBC-F636-4D75-BAC4-982D85188794@acm.org>

Sorry, but I don't see why you did any of what you
did that affects the secondary selection.  Why all
of that?  Why not just continue to provide the same
default mouse key bindings for it?

It's always been easy for a user to change those
default mouse key bindings.  How are things easier
for users after the proposed changes?

Searching your patch for "second", it seems that the
only changes affecting the secondary affect just the
(mouse) key bindings for it.  How is any of that
related to rectangular region selection?

I really don't see what has been gained by the
changes that affect the secondary selection.  Can
you please explain?  What's the aim - what's the
problem that this is trying to solve?

How about just removing all of the code in the
patch that deals with the secondary selection?
Is any of that needed, to provide mouse selection
of a rectangular region?

And I disagree with removing the longstanding
default mouse key bindings for the secondary.
You've done that in a roundabout way (defaulting
a new user option to nil), but you've done it,
AFAICT.

[BTW, there's no need to use '(); just () suffices.]
