Thx, but what I gave up on (after a whole 30s of investigation) was actually coding the behavior working from other examples of high level edit functionality coded in elisp, using elisp subroutines. I am sure five minutes would have gotten me over the hurdle, but there has been no real need. AllegroCL has the commands, and Cursive is unhackable.

Hmmm, I should ask about that. I just had a chat with its developer on #Clojurians and I think I failed to sell him on implementing it, but maybe...

I looked at coding up mouse commands myself but just out of curiosity and gave up without even trying. But I am sure it would be doable.

It is very easy to do. Just bind mouse events like any other key chord.

down-mouse-1
mouse-1
-2 for middle and -3 for left button.
You can of course combine it with modifiers: C-M-mouse-1 = Control Meta left button click.

(local-set-key (kbd "C-M-<mouse-1>") (lambda () (interactive) (insert "Mice!")))
