Is it possible to set to threshold to the >> middle of a character instead of very end of a character? Let me rephrase my question. I found it can be simplified to `click and move point. To make things clear, I set cursor-type to bar and try to edit string `HELP' as shown below. To set point in between E and L, I have to click space occupied by letter L as shown by `***'. However, I want to set the point by clicking space occupied by last half of E and first half of L as shown by `+++'. _ _ _____ v _ ____ | | | | | ____| | | | | _ \ | |_| | | _| | | | | |_) | | _ | | |___ | | |___ | __/ |_| |_| |_____| | |_____| |_| ^ (now) ******** (want) +++++++++ Is it possible to change the sweet spot? Now subtle difference in location of mouse cursor when around point, changes consequence.
