Btw, do ANY other application have this mouse1 + mouse3 mark text
feature?
gpm does it.
But apparently this is not the standard with X applications.
rxvt (similar to xterm) does not use this technique. Rather, it uses
dragging mouse1 to select a region. But once a region is selected, you
can extend it on both sides using mouse3.
Netscape, as far as I can see, only uses dragging.
Probably, Emacs should use the same conventions as the Gnome
applications. Anyone knows if there is such a standard?
I haven't seen it before. IMHO dropping this feature in
favor of activating buttons and links with mouse-1 is more user
friendly (except for old time Emacs users) as it is consistent with
how other applications behave.
Emacs is oriented towards editing, not navigating. Having mouse1 on a
link jump to that link is not what commonly one would expect from an
editor.
