Not necessarily; we could do something similar to function-key-map, or
some other means of redirection. We could arrange for this to be set
up whenever some option is customized.
I do not see the relation with `function-key-map'. All you have to
work with is an arbitrary string that does not follow any rigid
conventions. In the dired case, mouse-2 is bound (by default) to
`dired-mouse-find-file-other-window', which does not have any default
keyboard binding. But `dired-find-file-other-window', usually bound
to `o', has the same functionality. In the dired case, help-echo is:
"mouse-2: visit this file in other window", but, again, help-echo does
not need to follow any fixed pattern.
Note that there is a problem with an help-echo style:
"mouse-2: visit this file in other window".
The user could have rebound mouse-2. Many help-echo strings have this
problem. The vast majority refer to default bindings, not actual bindings.
Sincerely,
Luc.
