# Mouse

Each of the three mouse buttons can be used to manage Xcoral menus, buttons scrollbars and selection.

- LeftButton click

  Changes cursor position within a page. This means that the new position will be the pointer position, with two exceptions: a click beyond the end of a line (resp. of the buffer) moves the cursor to the end of that line (resp. of the buffer).

  If you grab the pointer when the left button is pressed, the standard X selection mechanism runs until the button is released.

  A new click releases the selection.

- RightButton click

  Selects region. The cursor moves at the selected point.

  A region is selected and highlighted from the previous location. If a selection already exists, it is extended to the current position.

- MiddleButton click

  In standard text window, restores the last selection at the current position. The selected text is inserted before the current position.

  In the browser visit window, colors the current buffer.

- Control key + MiddleButton click

  If a portion of text has been selected, this action erases it. The pointer position is unimportant for this sequence.

  When a text region has been erased it can be restored at any position by a MiddleButton click.
