[Aspell-user] How do I switch the mouse buttons in flyspell mode in emacs?

[Tony An]

I found it's rather odd that in flyspell mode in emacs,
if a word is marked mis-spelled, I should press the middle
mouse button to get the list suggested words, not the right
mouse button, which does nothing.

Since I am using a wheel mouse, my middle button is the
wheel - not only it's hard to click on, it also sometimes
mistaken as "paste" if I do click on it outside the popup
suggestion menu.

Is there a way I can weak the buttons so that I can use the
right mouse button to bring up the menu of suggested words
in flyspell mode? I think that should be default behavior
as most "menu" type of lists are brought by right mouse
button instead of the middle button.

Thanks for any tip about this.

Found a solution:

(eval-after-load "flyspell"
'(define-key flyspell-mode-map [down-mouse-3] 'flyspell-correct-word))

I am back to square one, because this remapping [down-mouse-3] has a side effect: normally down-mouse-3 is used for (mouse-save-then-kill CLICK) - and I will lose that functionality (left click, then right click at a different location to highlight the entire region) if I remapping it to 'flyspell-correct-word. Unless this is a bug...

Anybody?

Silly me. I figured out my solution:

Go to flyspell.el and search for mouse-2, and replace them to mouse-3. Done.
