Disable mouse clicks in Emacs

Question

Is there any way I can disable all mouse click events in Emacs? I tend to get focus issues when I accidentally hit my touch pad on my laptop and suddenly I'm in another Emacs window.

Answer 1

Try this:

(dolist (k '([mouse-1] [down-mouse-1] [drag-mouse-1] [double-mouse-1] [triple-mouse-1]  
             [mouse-2] [down-mouse-2] [drag-mouse-2] [double-mouse-2] [triple-mouse-2]
             [mouse-3] [down-mouse-3] [drag-mouse-3] [double-mouse-3] [triple-mouse-3]
             [mouse-4] [down-mouse-4] [drag-mouse-4] [double-mouse-4] [triple-mouse-4]
             [mouse-5] [down-mouse-5] [drag-mouse-5] [double-mouse-5] [triple-mouse-5]))
  (global-unset-key k))

Answer 2

I've created a package called disable-mouse, which provides local and global minor modes for disabling all mouse interaction in the current buffer or all buffers respectively.
