I can assure you that press-select-release semantics for popup menus is = very common, and has been for several decades. Most applications also = support the click-select-click model. However, I think we largely agree that the current buffer and face menus = are of limited utility and that their bindings should not be considered = sacred territory. > For me mouse-3 is the preferred button to pop up a menu.

Thank you; it's not very convenient on my keyboards, so I'd rather use = control-meta, but plain meta is of course better still. In decreasing order of preference: meta, control, shift, control-meta, = shift-meta, shift-control.
