;;; Commentary:

;; This module provides multi-click mouse support for GNU Emacs versions
;; 19.18 and later.  I've tried to make it behave more like standard X
;; clients (eg. xterm) than the default Emacs 19 mouse selection handlers.
;; Basically:
;;
;;   * Clicking mouse-1 starts (cancels) selection, dragging extends it.
;;
;;   * Clicking or dragging mouse-3 extends the selection as well.
;;
;;   * Double-clicking on word constituents selects words.
;;     Double-clicking on symbol constituents selects symbols.
;;     Double-clicking on quotes or parentheses selects sexps.
;;     Double-clicking on whitespace selects whitespace.
;;     Triple-clicking selects lines.
;;     Quad-clicking selects paragraphs.
;;
;;   * Selecting sets the region & X primary selection, but does NOT affect
;;     the kill-ring.  Because the mouse handlers set the primary selection
;;     directly, mouse-sel sets the variables interprogram-cut-function
;;     and interprogram-paste-function to nil.
;;
;;   * Clicking mouse-2 inserts the contents of the primary selection at
;;     the mouse position (or point, if mouse-yank-at-point is non-nil).
;;
;;   * Pressing mouse-2 while selecting or extending copies selection
;;     to the kill ring.  Pressing mouse-1 or mouse-3 kills it.
;;     
;;   * Double-clicking mouse-3 also kills selection.
;;     
;;   * M-mouse-1, M-mouse-2 & M-mouse-3 work similarly to mouse-1, mouse-2
;;     & mouse-3, but operate on the X secondary selection rather than the
;;     primary selection and region.
;;
;; This module requires my thingatpt.el module, which it uses to find the
;; bounds of words, lines, sexps, etc.
;;
;; Thanks to KevinB@bartley.demon.co.uk for his useful input.

;;--- Customisation -------------------------------------------------------
;;
;; * You may want to use none or more of following:
;;
;;      ;; Enable region highlight
;;      (transient-mark-mode 1)
;;
;;      ;; But only in the selected window
;;      (setq highlight-nonselected-windows nil)
;;      
;;      ;; Enable pending-delete
;;      (delete-selection-mode 1)
;;
;; * You can control the way mouse-sel binds its keys by setting the value
;;   of mouse-sel-default-bindings before loading mouse-sel.
;;
;;   (a) If mouse-sel-default-bindings = t (the default)
;;   
;;       Mouse sets and insert selection
;;	   mouse-1		mouse-select
;;	   mouse-2		mouse-insert-selection
;; 	   mouse-3		mouse-extend
;;
;;       Selection/kill-ring interaction is disabled
;;         interprogram-cut-function   = nil
;;         interprogram-paste-function = nil
;;
;;   (b) If mouse-sel-default-bindings = 'interprogram-cut-paste
;;   
;;       Mouse sets selection, and pastes from kill-ring
;; 	   mouse-1		mouse-select
;; 	   mouse-2		mouse-yank-at-click
;; 	   mouse-3		mouse-extend
;;  
;;       Selection/kill-ring interaction is retained
;;         interprogram-cut-function   = x-select-text
;;         interprogram-paste-function = x-cut-buffer-or-selection-value
;;         
;;       What you lose is the ability to select some text in
;;       delete-selection-mode and yank over the top of it.
;;       
;;   (c) If mouse-sel-default-bindings = nil, no bindings are made.
;;
;; * By default, mouse-insert-selection (mouse-2) inserts the selection at
;;   the mouse position.  You can tell it to insert at point instead with:
;;
;;     (setq mouse-yank-at-point t)
;;
;; * I like to leave point at the end of the region nearest to where the
;;   mouse was, even though this makes region highlighting mis-leading (the
;;   cursor makes it look like one extra character is selected).  You can
;;   disable this behaviour with:
;;
;;     (setq mouse-sel-leave-point-near-mouse nil)
;;
;; * By default, mouse-select cycles the click count after 4 clicks.  That
;;   is, clicking mouse-1 five times has the same effect as clicking it
;;   once, clicking six times has the same effect as clicking twice, etc.
;;   Disable this behaviour with:
;;
;;     (setq mouse-sel-cycle-clicks nil)
;;
;; * The variables mouse-sel-{set,get}-selection-function control how the
;;   selection is handled.  Under X Windows, these variables default so
;;   that the X primary selection is used.  Under other windowing systems,
;;   alternate functions are used, which simply store the selection value
;;   in a variable.
;;
;; * You can change the selection highlight face by altering the properties
;;   of mouse-drag-overlay, eg.
;;
;;     (overlay-put mouse-drag-overlay 'face 'bold)
