The Motivation

Easier selection for people with extra mouse keys.

The Solution

A 3th or 4th mouse button can be set as shortcut. When keeping pressed, you can select stuff like you can with the left mouse key.

The Alternatives

Using a key mapper. That would have the disadvantage, that you have to release the extra mouse key and then press down the left.

Hi there! Thanks for the suggestion but sadly binding something globally to mouse buttons is impossible on Wayland. However, as you said, there are some workarounds. I listed some ideas here: #221 (comment)

If you map the mouse button to something like Ctrl +1, you will not need to switch mouse buttons. The turbo-mode also works if a modifier button like Ctrl is pressed instead of the left mouse button!

It works, but for some reason its very laggy.
