No, I don't use `mouse-3' to kill selected text,
because it's easy to kill selected text
by choosing "Cut" from the context menu.

So there should be a delay longer than for double-click
before the second click pops up the context menu?

Still inconvenient when double-click brings up menu.

Maybe context menus should be enabled by default?
