FWIW, I do this all the time and have no problem with it. I also don't have a problem middle click following links in browser buffers and pasting text in writable ones. However, I am running Linux. I would guess that people coming from the MS world are used to two-button mice; middle-clicking would seem weird. On the other hand, maybe that wouldn't be too bad: left click moves point (or drags to set the selection), right press pops up a menu, both of which are valid operations in any buffer and thus consistency is important, and middle (or chord) does the next most important operation. It seems natural to me that in a dialog left clicking ("select") actually "executes" the selection, since selecting text in a buffer with text you would want to select actually "executes" a copy (in the X selection sense). YMMV, of course; I like the current behavior, and the above may be a useful way to rationalize it to new users. I would support the consensus if that is that meeting previously established expectations is preferable, though (and grumble a bit as I edit ~/.emacs :-). -- University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences Tel/fax: +81 (298) 53-5091 __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ What are those two straight lines for?
