In the same awkward way that vi is a text editor that doesn't respond to typing text, Emacs is a GUI application that doesn't respond to clicking buttons. > So maybe turning it on for a handful of cases makes sense. > And keeping a more intrusive option may also make sense for people > whose system makes it hard to generate a mouse-2 event. I believe this includes most PC systems (correct me if I'm wrong). -- Daniel Brockman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
