I like Emacs's mouse-3 binding for selecting text - including in Info. I'd
prefer that we keep the context menu on C-mouse-3, in Info as in other
buffers where it is available. That fits better with Emacs, IMO. Emacs users
can learn soon enough where it is, and it's good that its location be
relatively consistent.

I like the idea of getting rid of the S-mouse-1 font-dialog binding. I use
S-mouse-1 clicks (in most buffers) to enlarge the frame font, and I use
`C-S-mouse-1' clicks to shrink the frame font. But that's just a personal
binding and I agree that, other things being equal, it's good to save mouse
bindings for things that can take advantage of the specific mouse location.

More discussion on this might help. I don't see why we shouldn't discuss
changing default bindings as well - S-mouse-1 in particular.
