2.5 Mouse Binding Changes ¶

Anju makes the following changes to the default mouse bindings set in Emacs:

• Removes most bindings involving the middle mouse button (<mouse-2>).
• Removes mouse bindings related to secondary selection ((emacs)Secondary Selection).
• Change selection and open behavior in application-like modes.

  By default, built-in Emacs modes treat their content as a hypertext document, where a single click <mouse-1> on a link is treated as an open action. This results in surprise for modes whose content is more akin to an application. For applications, a single-click event is treated as a selection action and a double-click <mouse-1> event is treated as an open action.

  Modes reconfigured to support application-like behavior are:

  • dired-mode
  • ibuffer-mode
  • bookmark-bmenu-mode

  In addition, mark toggling is bound to M-<mouse-1> for modes which display a list of items.
