Re: [NEW PATCH] mouse-1 click follows link

[Robert J. Chassell]

    ** A mouse-1 click now follows links 

      For historical reasons, Emacs uses mouse-2 to take action on
    clickable text in a buffer ...

Please explain why.  The main reason was good -- the Emacs pattern
very much followed those human interface guidelines which say to make
the most common actions easy.

To me, the use of mouse-1 to follow links is odd, since I mainly use
it to set point, and I do that far more often than follow links.

I am not saying that you should not change the pattern, but that it is
worth remembering that the prime reason is more than historical
accident.
