I thought everybody knew about the left mouse button:
Left mouse hold+ right mouse            select things in inactive window
(Shift works here, too I think)
Left mouse hold+ right mouse dbl clk    launch from inactive window

And even neater is the "mouse program trick"
Double click an executable, then either hold the mouse button down or
push the mouse up to the GEM menu bar and let go.  The program won't
start until you let go of the mouse button or move the mouse from
the menu bar.

If you've seen this, is there an abort sequence, i.e. OOOPS?
I've looked for about a year, ALT-this-that-or-the-other, CNTRL-(same)
Space, etc, double click, you name it.  Maybe there isn't one, but
it sure would be nice
