.emacs.d VS acme-mouse

That's weird. I use package.el and it only ever updates when I ask it to.

The solution to this is too keep your elpa/ directory under version control.

I use this hacked-up script to help me do that: https://github.com/NateEag/.emacs.d/blob/master/site-lisp/up...

If you're familiar with acme(1) or Plan 9, you're bound to know about mouse chords (for the uninitiated, see http://acme.cat-v.org/mouse). There's a github repo in the wild that implements mouse chording for Emacs: https://github.com/akrito/acme-mouse but I never tried it so I can't tell how good it is.

Yeah, I never really looked at mouse binding, but does look quite simple.

This implements acme chording for copy/paste and the approach looks straightforward: https://github.com/akrito/acme-mouse/blob/master/acme-mouse....

And this package looks like a cool way to recreate the context sensitive text actions: https://github.com/cmpitg/wand

Combining the approach from the first and the wand package could potentially surpass the acme experience by making it easier to customize and extend.

My friend joked about how I'm religious about the keyboard, but really it's about the right tool for the job, and if I had an acme-like mouse experience with emacs I'd def be mousing around more often. Funny that compared to normal people I'm a keyboard fanatic but compared to majority of emacs users I'm on the mouse way more often :)
