9> Competing mouse bindings are: > > Meta: secondary selection The meta combinations are bound to the secondary selection in a very elaborate fashion and should be left alone. > Shift: mouse-appearance-menu (mouse-save-then-kill for NS) > Control: mouse-buffer-menu I have no idea why these are bound to down events in the first place. I would reserve S-down-mouse-1 for extending an existing selection and provide C-down-mouse-1 for rectangular selection. Some programs allow C-down-mouse-1 to provide non-contiguous selections which we then could accommodate easily by checking initially whether a selection is already active. > B. Combined modifiers (Shift-Meta etc). Less ergonomic; there may be platform restrictions. I'd consider these as viable alternatives. martin
