(Replying just about this: mouse-3.)
Vanilla Emacs hard-wires the behavior to kill or
delete the region (depending on the value of
`mouse-drag-copy-region'). That action can be
handy, but it's sometimes inappropriate (e.g., in
a read-only buffer). In any case, it is only one
possible action; there are often other actions on
the selected text that you might want to take.
See `mouse3.el'. You can use mouse-3 for both
a contextual pop-up menu and for extending the
selection.
