5) The delay for mouse-1 to set point
The delay for mouse-1 to set point is completely unintuitive, and no
other application I have ever seen works that way.
Do you complain that the feature is there at all?
No, I complain that it is overused. In custom, the buttons are given a
face to make them look like buttons, so it is expected behaviour.
Info and Help buffers are read-only, and similar to web pages in their
nature, so it is good there.
Gnus, compile and grep buffers are lists. They are not really like
hypertext in that there is no or little text to click on that is not
mouse sensitive. This makes it inconvenient to click to set the mouse
position. This actually annoys me more in Gnus Summary buffers, where I
want to delete spam from my mailbox without reading it. It used to annoy
me a little in grep and compilation buffers, but I seem to have managed
to turn it off there (or it has been disabled).
Having just tried it, it is worse than unintuitive, it is impossible
to do with a touchpad.
Or do you complain that you cannot use it with a touchpad?
Most touchpads have real buttons that you can use for this purpose
if you have to.
I prefer to have the buttons mapped to mouse-2 and mouse-3, since there
is no reason to have a duplicate mouse-1 when tapping the pad does the
trick.
