Rather than the ;; standard stroke-out-a-region (down-mouse-1, up-mouse-1) followed ;; by a yank (down-mouse-2, up-mouse-2 or C-y), you can now stroke ;; out a region and have it automatically pasted at the current ;; point. You can also move text just as easily. Although the ;; difference may not sound like much, it does make mousing text ;; around a lot easier, IMHO. ;; ;; If you like mouse-copy, you should also check out mouse-drag ;; for ``one-click scrolling''. ;; ;; To use mouse-copy, place the following in your .emacs file: ;; (require 'mouse-copy) ;; (global-set-key [M-down-mouse-1] 'mouse-drag-secondary-pasting) ;; (global-set-key [M-S-down-mouse-1] 'mouse-drag-secondary-moving) ;; ;; (These definitions override the old binding of M-mouse-1 to ;; mouse-drag-secondary. I find I don't use that command much so its ;; loss is not important, and it can be made up with a M-mouse-1 ;; followed by a M-mouse-3. I personally reserve M-mouse bindings ;; for my window manager and bind everything to C-mouse.) ;; ;; ;; History and related work: ;; ;; One-click copying and moving was inspired by lemacs-19.8. ;; Throw-scrolling was inspired by MacPaint's ``hand'' and by Tk's ;; mouse-2 scrolling. The package mouse-scroll.el by Tom Wurgler ;; <twurgler@goodyear.com> is similar to mouse-drag-throw, but ;; doesn't pass clicks through. ;; ;; These functions have been tested in emacs version 19.30, ;; and this package has run in the past on 19.25-19.29. ;; ;; Originally mouse-copy was part of a larger package. ;; As of 11 July 96 the scrolling functions were split out ;; in preparation for incorporation into (the future) emacs-19.32. ;; ;; ;; Known Bugs: ;; ;; - Highlighting is sub-optimal under 19.29 and XFree86-3.1.1 ;; (see \\[mouse-copy-work-around-drag-bug] for details). ;; - mouse-drag-secondary-pasting and mouse-drag-secondary-moving ;; require X11R5 (or better) and so fail under older versions ;; of Open Windows (like that present in Solaris/x86 2.1). ;; ;; ;; Future plans: ;; ;; I read about the chording features of Plan-9's Acme environment at ;; <http://www.zip.com.au/~cs/app/wily/auug.html>. I'd like ;; to incorporate some of these ideas into mouse-copy. The only ;; lose is that this is not the current Emacs Way Of Doing Things, so ;; there would be a learning curve for existing emacs users. ;; ;; ;; Thanks: ;; ;; Thanks to Kai Grossjohann ;; <grossjoh@dusty.informatik.uni-dortmund.de> for reporting bugs, to ;; Tom Wurgler <twurgler@goodyear.com> for reporting bugs and ;; suggesting fixes, and to Joel Graber <jgraber@ti.com> for ;; prompting me to do drag-scrolling and for an initial ;; implementation of horizontal drag-scrolling. ;; ;; -johnh, 11-Jul-96 ;;; Code: ;; ;; move/paste code ;; (defvar mouse-copy-last-paste-start nil "Internal to `mouse-drag-secondary-pasting'.")
