From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
click 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}. (1995-03-14)
