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,
(the other) Guillaume
PS- G. Cartier: nice presentation yesterday. Jazz is very cool.

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