Subject: Why mouse-1/2/3 ?
Date: Sat, 25 Apr 2020 17:45:02 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <XnuQHvH1asls2-MY9Dd1jYYfgN-dIErvr-Pt53otDfBASslo4tvv3YCIVMbjGuYGQXuadFz9l2rLSeDlSLBjsnLDirhGBRxdhAzGSk-sOkY=@protonmail.com> (raw)

I don't use the mouse in emacs at all, but when browsing info mouse-2 caught my eye.

Why emacs calls these mouse-1, 2 and 3? Wouldn't it be more user friendly to say
left mouse button, middle mouse button and right mouse button?

I checked what terminology Gnome uses:

"Press the right mouse button on any local folder"
