;;; Commentary:
;;
;; This module provides multi-click mouse support for GNU Emacs versions
;; 19.18 and later. I've tried to make it behave more like standard X
;; clients (eg. xterm) than the default Emacs 19 mouse selection handlers.
;; Basically:
;;
;; * Clicking mouse-1 starts (cancels) selection, dragging extends it.
;;
;; * Clicking or dragging mouse-3 extends the selection as well.
;;
;; * Double-clicking on word constituents selects words.
;; Double-clicking on symbol constituents selects symbols.
;; Double-clicking on quotes or parentheses selects sexps.
;; Double-clicking on whitespace selects whitespace.
;; Triple-clicking selects lines.
;;
;; * Selecting sets the region & X primary selection, but does NOT affect
;; the kill-ring. Because the mouse handlers set the primary selection
;; directly, mouse-sel sets the variables interprogram-cut-function
;; and interprogram-paste-function to nil.
;;
;; * Clicking mouse-2 pastes contents of primary selection at the mouse
;; position.
;;
;; * Pressing mouse-2 while selecting or extending copies selection
;; to the kill ring. Pressing mouse-1 or mouse-3 kills it.
;;
;; * Double-clicking mouse-3 also kills selection.
;;
;; This module requires my thingatpt.el module, which it uses to find the
;; bounds of words, lines, sexps, etc.
;;
;; Thanks to KevinB@bartley.demon.co.uk for his useful input.
;;
;;--- Customisation -------------------------------------------------------
;;
;; * You may want to use none or more of following:
;;
;; ;; Enable region highlight
;; (transient-mark-mode 1)
;;
;; ;; But only in the selected window
;; (setq highlight-nonselected-windows nil)
;;
;; ;; Enable pending-delete
;; (delete-selection-mode 1)
;;
;; * You can control the way mouse-sel binds its keys by setting the value
;; of mouse-sel-default-bindings before loading mouse-sel.
;;
;; (a) If mouse-sel-default-bindings = t (the default)
;;
;; Mouse sets and pastes selection
;; mouse-1 mouse-select
;; mouse-2 mouse-insert-selection
;; mouse-3 mouse-extend
;;
;; Selection/kill-ring interaction is disabled
;; interprogram-cut-function = nil
;; interprogram-paste-function = nil
;;
;; (b) If mouse-sel-default-bindings = 'interprogram-cut-paste
;;
;; Mouse sets selection, and pastes from kill-ring
;; mouse-1 mouse-select
;; mouse-2 mouse-yank-at-click
;; mouse-3 mouse-extend
;;
;; Selection/kill-ring interaction is retained
;; interprogram-cut-function = x-select-text
;; interprogram-paste-function = x-cut-buffer-or-selection-value
;;
;; What you lose is the ability to select some text in
;; delete-selection-mode and yank over the top of it.
;;
;; (c) If mouse-sel-default-bindings = nil, no bindings are made.
;;
;; * By default, mouse-insert-selection (mouse-2) inserts the selection at
;; the mouse position. You can tell it to insert at point instead with:
;;
;; (setq mouse-yank-at-point t)
;;
;; * I like to leave point at the end of the region nearest to where the
;; mouse was, even though this makes region highlighting mis-leading (the
;; cursor makes it look like one extra character is selected). You can
;; disable this behaviour with:
;;
;; (setq mouse-sel-leave-point-near-mouse nil)
;;
;; * Normally, the selection highlight will be removed when the mouse is
;; lifted. You can tell mouse-sel to retain the selection highlight
;; (useful if you don't use transient-mark-mode) with:
;;
;; (setq mouse-sel-retain-highlight t)
;;
;; * By default, mouse-select cycles the click count after 3 clicks. That
;; is, clicking mouse-1 four times has the same effect as clicking it
;; once, clicking five times has the same effect as clicking twice, etc.
;; Disable this behaviour with:
;;
;; (setq mouse-sel-cycle-clicks nil)
;;
;; * The variables mouse-sel-{set,get,check}-selection-function control how
;; the selection is handled. Under X Windows, these variables default so
;; that the X primary selection is used. Under other windowing systems,
;; alternate functions are used, which simply store the selection value
;; in a variable.
;;
;;--- Hints ---------------------------------------------------------------
;;
;; * You can change the selection highlight face by altering the properties
;; of mouse-drag-overlay, eg.
;;
;; (overlay-put mouse-drag-overlay 'face 'bold)
;;
;; * Pasting from the primary selection under emacs 19.19 is SLOW (there's
;; a two second delay). The following code will cause mouse-sel to use
;; the cut buffer rather than the primary selection. However, be aware
;; that cut buffers are OBSOLETE, and some X applications may not support
;; them.
;;
;; (setq mouse-sel-set-selection-function 'x-select-text
;; mouse-sel-get-selection-function 'x-get-cut-buffer)
;;
;;--- Warnings ------------------------------------------------------------
;;
;; * When selecting sexps, the selection extends by sexps at the same
;; nesting level. This also means the selection cannot be extended out
;; of the enclosing nesting level. This is INTENTIONAL.
