Oh, right it's not what I thought. Yes, it's a bit inconvenient to move
the mapping from C-mouse-3 to mouse-3 because you really want to put
onto mouse-3 the menu-item that's on C-mouse-3, but
(global-set-key [down-mouse-3] (key-binding [C-down-mouse-3]))
will only give you the keymap returned by mouse-menu-major-mode-map
rather than the menu-item itself. You'd like to be able to do:
(global-set-key [down-mouse-3] [C-down-mouse-3])
But that doesn't work because such remapping don't work right for events
with parameters such as mouse clicks. I guess you can do:
(global-set-key [down-mouse-3] (cdr (assq 'C-down-mouse-3 global-map)))
but it's ugly. Maybe we need a way to ask `key-binding' to return
menu-items rather than the binding specified in them. But key-binding
already takes many parameters..maybe we could abuse the `no-remap' arg
for that?
