26.3 Mouse Clicks for Menus

Several mouse clicks with the <CTRL> and <SHIFT> modifiers 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. See section Customizing Buffer Menus.

C-Mouse-2

This menu is for specifying faces and other text properties for editing formatted text. See section Editing 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.(4) 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 default font.
