I'm not claiming it doesn't make sense, but it's definitely not the purpose of my suggestion. My only purpose is to provide a contextual menu bound to the down-mouse-3 event like many other applications do, and try to do so without getting in the way of the pre-existing uses of `mouse-3` in Emacs. To a large extent, the content of this contextual menu is nor that important. I'd expect various applications to make use of it (flyspell, xref, ...). Stefan
