msb-mode mouse click problems

Enable MSB mode with `M-x msb-mode RET'. Do `C-Down-Mouse-1' to bring up the menu, release the button, move through the menus to select a buffer, and then click and release. An error is displayed in the echo area, usually ``C-mouse-1 is undefined''. In GNU Emacs 22.0.50.1

Customizing cursor color

The node Cursor Display in the emacs info pages says this: You can customize the cursor's color, and whether it blinks, using the `cursor' Custom group so I go to the cursor customize group. Next to the State button for Cursor face is this: NO CUSTOMIZATION DATA; not intended to be customized.

Quitting Help window doesn't really work

2006-03-30 Thread Otto Maddox
I suppose this is more of a feature request than a bug. It seems to be conventional in Emacs to use `q' to quit many read-only buffers or windows (e.g., Dired, Info or Apropos). But in *Help* buffers this doesn't always work: $ emacs -q C-h k a C-x 1 C-x 4 b * H e l p * RET q and the *Help*

Incorrect help for mouse click

Go into a dired buffer. Hover the mouse pointer over a file or directory name. The popup tooltip says mouse-1: visit this file in another window. But doing `C-h k' and then clicking with mouse-1 displays *Help* for down-mouse-1 (mouse-drag-region). I don't know if this is technically correct,
