Value

mouse-2

Documentation

Event that should be temporarily inhibited after mouse scrolling.

The mouse wheel is typically on the mouse-2 button, so it may easily happen that text is accidentally yanked into the buffer when scrolling with the mouse wheel. To prevent that, this variable can be set to the event sent when clicking on the mouse wheel button.

Probably introduced at or before Emacs version 22.1.
