+;;; mouse-sel.el --- Multi-click selection support for Emacs 19

+
+;;; 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.
+;;
+;; * 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 pastes contents of primary selection.
+;;
+;; * Pressing mouse-2 while selecting or extending copies selected text
+;; to the kill ring. Pressing mouse-1 or mouse-3 kills it.
+;;
+;; This module requires my thingatpt.el module, version 1.14 or later, which
+;; it uses to find the bounds of words, lines, sexps, etc.
+;;
+;; Thanks to [email protected] for his useful input.
+;;
+;; You may also want to use one 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)
+;;
+;;--- Customisation -------------------------------------------------------
+;;
+;; * You can control the way mouse-sel binds it's 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 pastes 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.
+;;
+;; * 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)
+;;
+;; * Normally, the selection highlight will be removed when the mouse is
+;; lifted. You can tell mouse-sel to retain the selection highlight
+;; (useful if you don't use transient-mark-mode) with:
+;;
+;; (setq mouse-sel-retain-highlight t)
+;;
+;; * By default, mouse-select cycles the click count after 3 clicks. That
+;; is, clicking mouse-1 four times has the same effect as clicking it
+;; once, clicking five 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,check}-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.
+;;
+;;--- Hints ---------------------------------------------------------------
+;;
+;; * You can change the selection highlight face by altering the properties
+;; of mouse-drag-overlay, eg.
+;;
+;; (overlay-put mouse-drag-overlay 'face 'bold)
+;;
+;; * Pasting from the primary selection under emacs 19.19 is SLOW (there's
+;; a two second delay). The following code will cause mouse-sel to use
+;; the cut buffer rather than the primary selection. However, be aware
+;; that cut buffers are OBSOLETE, and some X applications may not support
+;; them.
+;;
+;; (setq mouse-sel-set-selection-function 'x-select-text
+;; mouse-sel-get-selection-function 'x-get-cut-buffer)
+;;
+;;--- Warnings ------------------------------------------------------------
+;;
+;; * When selecting sexps, the selection extends by sexps at the same
+;; nesting level. This also means the selection cannot be extended out
+;; of the enclosing nesting level. This is INTENTIONAL.
