Hi everyone,
For reference, the idea came from Macintosh Common Lisp (MCL) where they used to call it mouse-copy.

Hello everyone,
being jealous of Guillaume Cartier's Jazz system, I've implemented the "alt-click" functionality of Jazz into Emacs. It probably
already existed
somewhere with a better name, but I couldn't find it, out of means to describe it to a search engine.
I've tentatively called it 'meta-paste' and I bind it to
"Alt-Shift-Click"
on my system.
Hope someone finds this useful,
Great!
XEmacs already provides half of this. Simply double-click on an S-expression while holding the Control key. Unfortunately, you cannot replace a selection with it, though, just copy.
Also, to emulate the exact Jazz feature, you should not replace any text if it is not selected.
Thanks Guillaume!
