Therefore please add information about 'M-mouse-1' as a way to deselect, perhaps somewhere next to the L626-627 or after the definition of 'M-mouse-1' L607-608 in KILLING.TEXI. Then update documentation string for 'mouse-start-secondary' with the same information. === Also (because it's the same chapter) in Emacs manual (INFO) "12.3.3 Secondary Selection" description of 'M-mouse-3' could be changed: FROM Set the secondary selection, with one end at the position clicked and the other at the position specified with ‘M-mouse-1’ (‘mouse-secondary-save-then-kill’). This also puts the selected text in the kill ring. A second ‘M-mouse-3’ at the same place kills the secondary selection just made. TO Set the secondary selection, with one end at the position clicked and the other at the position specified with ‘M-mouse-1’, and put the selected text in the kill ring (‘mouse-secondary-save-then-kill’). A second ‘M-mouse-3’ at the same place kills the secondary selection just made. Placement of 'mouse-secondary-save-then-kill' will be better, right now it may confuse people because it stands next to 'M-mouse-1' which has different command. S. U.
