My preference was for just using mouse-1 where text is generally underlined already e.g info, help, customize (not underlined) etc. I think you/others said it should apply to all buffers. My next preference would be to restrict the area where mouse-1 worked e.g in grep just on file and line number while mouse-2 could still work over the whole line. I would not know how to do this, but I am prepared to work on it after the release. I stopped following the thread, but I don't like the idea of adding underlining as links already have mouse-face and a hand pointer. What next, a little jingle that plays when the mouse is over the link? Nick
