I agree with Fernando with regard to mouse interclicks.  I used Oberon 
V4 and S3 for many years and thought the interclicks were quite 
efficient and nice but a little awkward to use.  Having shifted to 
Blackbox/Component Pascal I now see no advantage to interclicks.  Going 
back to them is quite frustrating and they feel restrictive.

So, my recommendation is also to adapt the more common mouse operations 
of Windows and Linux.
