Maybe there is an obvious way to do what I'm asking, but since I don't know it, I tried hacking up something like this. It almost works the way I expect, until I drag a window's scrollbar. Then things run amok.
In my .emacs: ;; Don't show a stupid font context menu when shift-clicking a buffer. (global-set-key [S-mouse-1] 'dave-shift-mouse-select) (global-set-key [S-down-mouse-1] 'ignore) (defun dave-shift-mouse-select (event) "Set the mark and then move point to the position clicked on with the mouse. This should be bound to a mouse click event type." (interactive "e") (mouse-minibuffer-check event) (if mark-active (exchange-point-and-mark)) (set-mark-command nil) ;; Use event-end in case called from mouse-drag-region. ;; If EVENT is a click, event-end and event-start give same value. (posn-set-point (event-end event))) -Dave On Nov 5, 10:41 pm, Dave Peck <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Almost what I'm looking for. I want [S-mouse-1] to map to a function > which: > > 1.
