Subject: mouse and update 23.4 -> 24.1
Date: Thu, 14 Jun 2012 14:58:13 -0400 (EDT) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <alpine.LNX.2.01.1206141339040.411@waverley.dhcp.wfu.edu> (raw)
I have one problem after updating from GNU Emacs 23.4 to 24.1.
I like to be able to initiate a mouse-drag to select text
starting at the left margin, without having to worry about
whether the pointer is in the "fringe" or not. In 23.4 I could
get this behavior by putting this line into ~/.emacs:
(global-set-key [left-fringe down-mouse-1] 'mouse-drag-region)
In version 24.1, though, sometimes when I mouse-down to start
a drag on the left I get a popup menu ("tool bar" and "Menu
bar") and the text area loses focus. I have no need for that
popup and would like to get rid of it if possible. Thanks for
any help.
