Open file via mouse click #21

This shx-mode is so useful, thanks ! Just a newbie question, could it be possible to open files via (ctrl+) mouse-click ? It is sometimes much quicker to do so.

Thanks so much for saying so! :)

There is a similar (or at least related) issue about opening files at https://github.com/riscy/shx-for-emacs/issues/20, which I'll mark here for reference.

A quick option would be to add to your .emacs:

(require 'shx)
;; ...
(define-key shx-mode-map [C-mouse-1] #'ffap-at-mouse)
;; shadow C-down-mouse-1 with empty behavior to avoid some errors:
(define-key shx-mode-map [C-down-mouse-1] (lambda (e) (interactive "e")))

or you could quickly just run these in a shx session to try it out:

:ev (define-key shx-mode-map [C-mouse-1] #'ffap-at-mouse)
:ev (define-key shx-mode-map [C-down-mouse-1] (lambda (e) (interactive "e")))

But this solution seems to be a little hacky since -- at least for me on macOS -- it requires shadowing C-down-mouse-1 to avoid error messages.

I'll come back to this as there might be a better solution.
