This is _very_ dependent on your style of editing. I've tried xterm-mouse-mode on and off, and I find I prefer "off", largely for the reasons stated in this thread [the default xterm "interapp cut-n-paste" behavior is more useful; the xterm-mouse-mode behavior generally quite clunky feeling, esp. the lack of region dragging]. I might feel differently If it were possible to have a sort of "clicks-only" half-xterm-mouse-mode, or to fix the misfeatures of the current "full" mouse-mode [e.g., get drag events for region dragging; contact X server for cut-n-paste even in -nw mode] -- but neither seems practical, because they would require changes in xterm (and a fair amount of effort to implement for uncertain gain). -Miles -- Do not taunt Happy Fun Ball. _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
