Hi, I agree clicking with the middle mouse button is not particularly easy but doable. I would not mind assigning a function to the button, but we need choose carefully, since it is likely to stay for a long time. I am sure that changing the behavior later will cause a rage coming from users that got used to it.
Any other ideas what else could be assigned to the middle mouse button?
