*Note Rebinding Mouse Buttons: (emacs)Mouse Buttons, for an explanation of
how the mouse events work.  Which event should be bound basically depends
on when the action is supposed to happen.

If you press a mouse button you get a down event.  If you release the
button you get a click event (no modifier).  If you move the mouse while
pressing a button you get a drag event.  Double and triple click events
are generated when you release and press a button (twice for triple click)
in less than double-click-time without moving the mouse.  Note that all
those events are actually generated, but some are discarded if unbound.

Andreas.
