This is awkward with mouse events - since pressing and
releasing a mouse button generates multiple events,
and it may report on an event different from the one I
am concerned with.
However, this did give me a clue which enabled me to
fix my drag-mouse-2. Even though I did not get a
report on drag-mouse-2, what C-h c did report was:
down-mouse-2 at that spot runs the command mouse-drag-throw
I suppose that once mouse-drag-throw was running it
took away _my_ drag. I have now bound down-mouse-2 to
a no op in my mode, and the function I had intended
for drag-mouse-2 now works! Alex was more nearly
correct on this than I had initially thought.
But I was STILL unable to usurp C-down-mouse-1! I
have bound a test function to it, and it does not run.
C-h c still says:
C-down-mouse-1 at that spot runs the command msb
I have now solved that one too, and the reason was
something which has not been mentioned; but it also
raises a new question. The problem was that the minor
mode msb was enabling itself in all my buffers (which
is normally OK). Once I disabled msb-mode in my
special buffer, all was well. But why would a binding
for a minor mode take precedence when I had attempted
to bind the same event in my major mode? How can a
general purpose program like I am trying to make know,
in general, which minor modes it must disable in order
to work properly? I feel that I must still be missing
something here.
Thanks,
David V.
