Using the MOUSE buttons in Emacs
You can use your workstation's mouse to perform some editing operations
in Emacs. The table below summarizes these operations.
Button * Operation
--------------- ------------------------------------------------------------
Left Move the cursor to the mouse's location.
Middle Insert the text from the X cut buffer at the location of
the Emacs cursor.
Right Copy the text between the cursor and the mouse into the
X cut buffer. The text is not deleted from the buffer
but is put into the Emacs kill ring. The text may be
recalled by using MIDDLE (above) or Ctrl-Y.
Ctrl-Middle Cut the text between the cursor and the mouse into the
X cut buffer. The text is deleted from the buffer and is
put into the Emacs kill ring. The text may be recalled by
using MIDDLE (above) or Ctrl-Y.
Ctrl-Right Divide the current window into two windows.
Ctrl-Shift-Right
Return to single-window mode, keeping the window that
contains the mouse.
Ctrl-Shift-Middle
Brings up a pop-up help window, from which various
operations or buffers may be selected with the mouse.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Note: If your workstation's mouse only has two buttons, pressing both
buttons simultaneously has the same effect as pressing the middle button.
