It is definitely better to refer to what happens, rather than to a key binding. Here, you refer to `window' for mouse-2 and -3, but not for -1. You also have both `:' and ` =', inconsistently. If space is not a problem (which I would guess), then this is better: mouse-1: drag window, mouse-2: maximize window, mouse-3: delete window If space is a problem, then use this: Window - mouse-1: resize, mouse-2: maximize, mouse-3: delete or even the same without "Window -".
