Ohh, that's good stuff, thanks! I had an earlier edition years ago, have already forgotten so much from it. It's amazing how much you can learn spending a quiet evening with a book like that, trying out different commands.

I had never tried this:

~$ cal

Also, I always forget that a middle click will paste the last selected text.

Don't forget the double right click to cut in emacs.

I find it so disappointing that left and middle click on empty space in Mate do nothing (and that right click menu seems not configurable).

I would like to have left click open a configurable app menu and middle click a list of open windows, so that I can get rid of this taskbar wasting precious space on small laptop screens. Perhaps I should setup the good old fvwm that does this perfectly well.
