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.
