I've found that using C-h c and then clicking on some part of the screen often tells me it's name. For example in this case I get <right-fringe> <mouse-1> (translated from <down-mouse-1> <mouse-1>) runs the command mouse-set-point So I know where I clicked is called <right-fringe>. _______________________________________________ Help-gnu-emacs mailing list Help-gnu-emacs@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gnu-emacs
