+
+;;; Commentary:
+
+;;; What is ``mouse-copy.el''?
+;;;
+;;; It provides one-click text copy and move. Rather than the
+;;; standard stroke-out-a-region (down-mouse-1, up-mouse-1) followed
+;;; by a yank (down-mouse-2, up-mouse-2 or C-y), you can now stroke
+;;; out a region and have it automatically pasted at the current
+;;; point. You can also move text just as easily. Although the
+;;; difference may not sound like much, it does make mousing text
+;;; around a lot easier, IMHO.
+;;;
+;;; If you like mouse-copy, you should also check out mouse-drag
+;;; for ``one-click scrolling''.
+;;;
+;;; To use mouse-copy, place the following in your .emacs file:
+;;; (require 'mouse-copy)
+;;; (global-set-key [M-down-mouse-1] 'mouse-drag-secondary-pasting)
+;;; (global-set-key [M-S-down-mouse-1] 'mouse-drag-secondary-moving)
+;;;
+;;; (These definitions override the old binding of M-mouse-1 to
+;;; mouse-drag-secondary. I find I don't use that command much so its
+;;; loss is not important, and it can be made up with a M-mouse-1
+;;; followed by a M-mouse-3. I personally reserve M-mouse bindings
+;;; for my window manager and bind everything to C-mouse.)
+;;;
+;;;
+;;; History and related work:
+;;;
+;;; One-click copying and moving was inspired by lemacs-19.8.
+;;; Throw-scrolling was inspired by MacPaint's ``hand'' and by Tk's
+;;; mouse-2 scrolling. The package mouse-scroll.el by Tom Wurgler
+;;; <twurgler@goodyear.com> is similar to mouse-drag-throw, but
+;;; doesn't pass clicks through.
+;;;
+;;; These functions have been tested in emacs version 19.30,
+;;; and this package has run in the past on 19.25-19.29.
+;;;
+;;; Originally mouse-copy was part of a larger package.
+;;; As of 11 July 96 the scrolling functions were split out
+;;; in preparation for incorporation into (the future) emacs-19.32.
+;;;
+;;;
+;;; Known Bugs:
+;;;
+;;; - Highlighting is sub-optimal under 19.29 and XFree86-3.1.1
+;;; (see \\[mouse-copy-work-around-drag-bug] for details).
+;;; - mouse-drag-secondary-pasting and mouse-drag-secondary-moving
+;;; require X11R5 (or better) and so fail under older versions
+;;; of Open Windows (like that present in Solaris/x86 2.1).
+;;;
+;;;
+;;; Future plans:
+;;;
+;;; I read about the chording features of Plan-9's Acme environment at
+;;; <http://swifty.dap.csiro.au/%7Ecameron/wily/auug.html>. I'd like
+;;; to incorporate some of these ideas into mouse-copy. The only
+;;; lose is that this is not the current Emacs Way Of Doing Things, so
+;;; there would be a learning curve for existing emacs users.
+;;;
+;;;
+;;; Thanks:
+;;;
+;;; Thanks to Kai Grossjohann
+;;; <grossjoh@dusty.informatik.uni-dortmund.de> for reporting bugs, to
+;;; Tom Wurgler <twurgler@goodyear.com> for reporting bugs and
+;;; suggesting fixes, and to Joel Graber <jgraber@ti.com> for
+;;; prompting me to do drag-scrolling and for an initial
+;;; implementation of horizontal drag-scrolling.

+;;;
+;;; Old changes, for reference:
+;;;
+;;; What's new with mouse-copy 2.22?
+;;;
+;;; - copy functions split out from mouse-extras.el
+;;; - support for emacs-19.{29,30,31} (no changes needed for the 31 port!)
+;;;
+;;;
+;;; What's new with mouse-extras 2.21?
+;;;
+;;; - support for emacs-19.{29,30}
+;;; - point now stays on the visible screen during horizontal scrolling
+;;; (bug identified and fix suggested by Tom Wurgler <twurgler@goodyear.com>)
+;;; - better work-around for lost-mouse-events bug (supports double/triple
+;;; clicks), see \\[mouse-extras-work-around-drag-bug] for details.
+;;; - work-around for lost-mouse-events bug now is OFF by default;
+;;; enable it if you have problems

+19.29 and 19.30 seems to drop mouse drag events
