           To press and release a button on a mouse or
          other pointing device.  This generates an event, also
          specifying the screen position, which is processed by the
          window manager or application program.  On a mouse with
          more than one button, the unqualified term usually implies
          pressing the left-most button (with the right index finger),
          other buttons would be qualified, e.g. "{right-click".
          Keyboard modifiers may also be used, e.g. "shift-click",
          meaning to hold down the shift key on the keyboard while
          clicking the mouse button.
       
          If the mouse moves while the button is pressed then this is a
          drag.
