I'll look into this. In terms of simplicity, I'm imagining this as a function in Global Lua [maybe sp_middle_mouse_down()]. This would mean that the function would be called anytime you press the middle mouse button (except on ignored windows).

So it would be a global type of function, however, if you wanted, you could certainly build out logic so different things happened depending on the window the mouse was over when the middle-click occurred. Anything beyond the functionality I described above would require a much larger effort.

function sp_middle_mouse_down()
	  --do something here
end

Included this functionality in 2.7.3 (Beta). Create this function in Global Lua:

function sp_middle_mouse_down()
	  --do something here
end

And enable the Allow Middle Click Script* option in preferences.

The problem is, each of these options adds a check in the mouse hook. So I don't want to keep adding edge case code and options which have a negative effect on everyone.

Every single mouse action passes through the S+ mouse hook, so every new option adds another logic check. Over time, all of these checks add up and can start to cause delays.

I'll think about how to reduce that footprint, maybe an option which comprises of a single option, then inside that can be other options like left, etc. That way people who do not want the functionality won't be affected by all the extra checks.
