I don't think that would be a good idea. All over XEmacs, button1 is
used to position the point, while button2 is used for selecting.
Making list-mode an exception without changing anything else would
only add to the confusion.
That's not quite true; button1 on a glyph widget selects it (eg in
customize buffers). I'd like to see button1 select all "button-like"
things. I suggest that non-glyph widgets are certainly buttons. I also
suggest that filenames in Completion List Mode are more button-like than
text-like, especially when presented in the mouse-read-file frame if not
in general. Do you think that changing button1 to select filenames in
the mouse-read-file frame only and to select non-glyph widgets would be
a good thing or at least harmless?
I'm not suggesting that button1 be changed in general or even for modes
like Compilation mode because the contents of these buffers are
text-like rather than button-like.
Jonathan.
