When a minor mode has its own menu, why not display that for mouse-1, just as we do for major modes? --- [Note: This is a different suggestion from what was discussed in thread "mode-line major and minor mode help text and bindings" of 2006-04-29. The part of that discussion that concerned minor-mode menus was about mouse-3: > From: Richard Stallman > Sent: Saturday, April 29, 2006 8:04 PM > > 6. Enhancement suggestion: It seems a bit silly to have the > same menu be on each of the minor-mode lighters - a waste > of the mouse-3 binding. Suggestion: Instead, add this > minor-modes menu to the major-mode menu as a submenu, > "Choose Minor Modes". Bonus: if the minor mode (for > that lighter) has, itself, a menu, that could be on mouse-3. > > That would be less convenient, and there is nothing else natural > for mouse-3 to do here. ]
