21.4 Mouse Clicks for Menus
Several mouse clicks with the Ctrl
and SHIFT
modifiers
bring up menus.
- C-mouse-1
This menu is for selecting a buffer.
The MSB (“mouse select buffer”) global minor mode makes this menu smarter and more customizable. See Buffer Menus.
- C-mouse-2
This menu contains entries for examining faces and other text properties, and well as for setting them (the latter is mainly useful when editing enriched text; see Enriched Text).
- C-mouse-3
This menu is mode-specific. For most modes if Menu-bar mode is on, 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. If Menu Bar mode is off, this menu contains all the items which would be present in the menu bar—not just the mode-specific ones—so that you can access them without having to display the menu bar.
- S-mouse-1
This menu is for changing the default face within the window’s buffer. See Text Scale.
Some graphical applications use mouse-3 for a mode-specific
menu. If you prefer mouse-3 in Emacs to bring up such a menu
instead of running the mouse-save-then-kill
command, rebind
mouse-3 by adding the following line to your init file
(see Init Rebinding):
(global-set-key [mouse-3] 'mouse-popup-menubar-stuff)
