Why do you wonder? You asked that same question
yesterday, and I answered it, in the same message
you're quoting from.
Is there some part of either the description or
the code of `mouse3.el' that isn't clear in this
regard? Did you follow those links? Do you have
a specific question about how it works or behaves?
Here are the links again.
Description:
https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/Mouse3
Code:
https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/download/mouse3.el
Anyway - from the description:
Library `mouse3.el' lets you pop up such a menu by
using only 'mouse-3' - no need to use the keyboard
(hitting the 'Control' key). Yet you can still use
'mouse-3' to extend and delete the selection.
How does it work? [read that section]
That section tells you that "`mouse3.el' redefines
standard command 'mouse-save-then-kill' in a trivial
way to give you custom behavior for a second 'mouse-3'
click at the same spot."
Instead of a second single click always deleting, you
can use it to access a context menu, to delete or
perform any other actions.
Doesn't that remove the standard second-click-deletes
behavior? No, because it distinguishes a `mouse-3'
double-click (which performs the usual delete action)
from a second single click (which shows a context
menu - or in fact to do anything else you like).
Vanilla Emacs doesn't distinguish these two ways to
click `mouse-3' a second time, so it misses an
opportunity to provide both a menu and the standard
extend-or-delete-region behavior.
The redefined `mouse-save-then-kill' command just uses
function `mouse3-second-click-command' to handle a
second click at the same spot. That function returns
the command that `mouse-save-then-kill' invokes:
either the command that is the value of variable
`mouse3-save-then-kill-command' or, if that is `nil'
the command that is the value of user option
`mouse3-second-click-default-command'.
The default value of that user option is command
`mouse3-popup-menu', which pops up a `Region' menu,
which generally has items that act on the region.
___
To obtain the vanilla Emacs behavior, customize that
option value to command `mouse3-kill/delete-region'.
To _always_ have `mouse-3' pop up a context menu,
set option `mouse3-menu-always-flag' to non-`nil', or
bind `mouse-3' to `mouse3-action-wo-save-then-kill'.
IOW, both vanilla Emacs's hard-coded behavior and
an always-use-context-menu behavior are trivial
subsets of what `mouse3.el' offer.
