We here at the Irreal bunker belong to the cohort that believes every right thinking person eschews the use of the mouse whenever possible. Still, in our honest moments, we recognize that there are some intelligent, skillful people who do like using the mouse.
One such person is Charles Choi, who likes using the mouse and even menus. Emacs, of course, supports mouse use but it’s always been a step child and Choi has had enough. He has, therefore, written a package, anju, that implements several features to make using the mouse in Emacs a bit nicer.
He’s added features to
- Pop up a window management menu
- Pop up a configurable list of buffers
- Maximize current window or return to previous window configuration
Added commands to the context menu for selected text, Org mode, and Dired mode, and added a bookmarks submenu to the Main menu. He’s also reorganized the Help menu.
As I said above, I don’t care very much about any of this but I’m sure there are plenty of people who do. Choi has done a lot of work to make using the mouse and menus in Emacs a better experience both with this package and some of his previous ones.
