\ = mouse-down / = mouse-up _ = drag Triple-left-click on the line works as well in emacs in X as in any other GUI application \/\/\/ . To select a single word, double-left-click on the word: \/\/ . You can also select several words: double-left-click on the first word and drag up to the last word \/\_______/ . Also, you can put the mark with single-left-click \/ , and move the point with single-right-click \/ . In X, the selection is automatically "copied", you can paste it with middle-click \/ pointing to the place where you want it pasted, or "yanking" with C-y. -- A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
