In xemacs, if I double click on a word, the word is highlighted. If I then
press control-s for search, and click the middle mouse button *without moving
the mouse*, I will paste that word into the search string, and all is good.
Emacs, on the other hand, does not support this idiom. For some reason, the
middle mouse button *ABORTS* the search mode, and then pastes the word under
the mouse. Why would you want that?
This idiom alone has kept me using xemacs for over a decade. I'd like to
switch to emacs now.
Can I fix this easily with option-setting, or does it require me to hack and
add the correct behavior?
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
