15.4: Mouse Clicks for Menus

Mouse clicks modified with the CTRL and SHIFT keys bring up menus.

C-Mouse-1

This menu is for selecting a buffer.

C-Mouse-2

This menu is for specifying faces and other text properties for editing formatted text. See Formatted Text.

C-Mouse-3

This menu is mode-specific. For most modes, this menu has the same items as all the mode-specific menu-bar menus put together. Some modes may specify a different menu for this button.[1]

S-mouse-1

This menu is for specifying the frame's principal font.


[1] Some systems use Mouse-3 for a mode-specific menu. We took a survey of users, and found they preferred to keep Mouse-3 for selecting and killing regions. Hence the decision to use C-Mouse-3 for this menu.
