Answer 1

How about mouse-3 like Stefan suggests?

Add this to your init file:

(eval-after-load "flyspell"
    '(progn
       (define-key flyspell-mouse-map [down-mouse-3] #'flyspell-correct-word)
       (define-key flyspell-mouse-map [mouse-3] #'undefined)))

This works for me. But obviously you need to run this lisp snippet at start-up; - after flyspell is loaded, it is too late. – Subrogation

This is great! I've been modifying flyspell.el.gz each time and everytime I updated I'd lose it. – Canarese

Answer 2

Rather flyspell needs to be fixed to pop up its menu on mouse-3 since it's really more like a context menu. I.e. I recommend a M-x report-emacs-bug about it.

Answer 3

There's already an option built in for this. Take a look at:

mac-emulate-three-button-mouse

Specifically, you should be able to just add:

(setq mac-emulate-three-button-mouse t)

In your .emacs, and then mouse-2 will be Option+Click and mouse-3 will be Cmd+Click

Note that this isn't present in GNU Emacs. – Thousand
