* keyboard.c (echo_char, read_char): Apply EVENT_HEAD without first testing for EVENT_HAS_PARAMETERS; EVENT_HEAD works properly on all sorts of events now. (read_key_sequence): Use the new accessors to decide in which window an event occurred. * keyboard.c (Qevent_unmodified): Replaced by... (Qevent_symbol_elements): New property. (syms_of_keyboard): initialize and staticpro the latter, not the former. * keyboard.c (readable_events): This doesn't need to scan and discard mouse release events anymore; it just uses EVENT_QUEUES_EMPTY. (kbd_buffer_get_event): No need to skip past mouse release events. * keyboard.c (button_down_location): New variable, which stores the location at which each button was pressed, so we can build a complete drag event when the button is released. (make_lispy_event): When a button is pressed, record its location in button_down_location, and turn it into a `down' event. When a button is released, compare its release location with its press location, and decide whether to call it a `click' or `drag' event. Change mouse movement events to be arranged like click events. (format_modifiers): Note that the click modifier has no written representation. (modifier_names, modifer_symbols): New variables, used to create the Qevent_symbol_elements property. (modify_event_symbol): Change the format of the modified symbol cache; there are too many modifier bits now to use a vector indexed by a modifier mask. Use an assoc-list instead. Document the format of the cache. Put the Qevent_symbol_elements property on each new symbol, instead of a Qevent_unmodified property. (symbols_of_keyboard): Put Qevent_symbol_elements properties on the symbols specified in head_table, not Qevent_unmodifed properties. Initialize and staticpro modifier_symbols, and staticpro the window elements of button_down_location.

This directory contains the architecture-independent files used by or
with Emacs.  This includes some text files of documentation for GNU
Emacs or of interest to Emacs users, and the file of dumped docstrings
for Emacs functions and variables.

`termcap.dat' is for VMS.  It is a copy of the `/etc/termcap' file
used on Unix.
