Not to be argumentative, but so does 3-2.  Not including a seemingly
useful feature because you don't want to change the behaviour of your
fingers under a seldom used mechanism seems foolish.  If you want
1 to cancel a 3 click then it should be across the board and cancel
a 2 click as well.  Regularity shouldn't be an option.

Since 1 is useful for X with args, it can be useful for open with args.
Suppose the concept whereby the user highlights a string
representative of the window he/she wants the open to occur in.
If you highlight, say, `.' you mean ``open here.''  Otherwise,
you could open all docs in one particular window.  Perhaps there
are other uses.

I'm not certain of acme's internal window naming organisation,
but this seems doable.
