I don't get Jason's point. A place-finger-and-hold on a touchpad merely makes the mouse cursor accessible to movements on the pad. A tap-finger-then-place-and-hold actually sends a mouse-down event. The mouse-up gets generated when you release your finger from the touchpad. This is pretty much parallel with normal mouse usage. -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
