Mouse Clicks for Menus
======================

   Mouse clicks modified with the <CTRL> and <SHIFT> keys bring up
menus.

`C-Mouse-1'
     This menu is for selecting a buffer.

     The MSB ("mouse select buffer") global minor mode makes this menu
     smarter and more customizable.  Note: Buffer Menus.

`C-Mouse-2'
     This menu is for specifying faces and other text properties for
     editing formatted text.  Note: Formatted Text.

`C-Mouse-3'
     This menu is mode-specific.  For most modes if Menu-bar mode is
     on, this menu has the same items as all the mode-specific menu-bar
     menus put together.  Some modes may specify a different menu for
     this button.(1)  If Menu-bar mode is off, this menu contains all
     the items which would be present in the menu bar--not just the
     mode-specific ones--so that you can access them without having to
     display the menu bar.

`S-Mouse-1'
     This menu is for specifying the frame's principal font.

   ---------- Footnotes ----------

   (1) Some systems use `Mouse-3' for a mode-specific menu.  We took a
survey of users, and found they preferred to keep `Mouse-3' for
selecting and killing regions.  Hence the decision to use `C-Mouse-3'
for this menu.
