*Note Rebinding Mouse Buttons: (emacs)Mouse Buttons, for an explanation of
how the mouse events work. Which event should be bound basically depends
on when the action is supposed to happen.
If you press a mouse button you get a down event. If you release the
button you get a click event (no modifier). If you move the mouse while
pressing a button you get a drag event. Double and triple click events
are generated when you release and press a button (twice for triple click)
in less than double-click-time without moving the mouse. Note that all
those events are actually generated, but some are discarded if unbound.
Andreas.
