Kitty: Adding bindings for mouse buttons

[lazarcf]

Hey,

I would very much appreciate it if I could change the middle / right click mouse button behaviour, for instance make them paste from clipboard.

I'm afraid this is not something I am interested in, patches are welcome. And note that middle click already pastes, from primary selection, on platforms that have a primary selection.

The problem is I select something in one kitty terminal and can't middle-click paste it on another..

Works for me. Are you saying that middle click works in the same kitty instance, but not in a different one?

I'm interested in this feature for another usecase. Buttons 8 and 9 on my external mouse are generally understood by software as _back_ and _forward_ commands, respectively. Right now, these buttons are useless in kitty, but it would be nice to map them to previous_tab and next_tab, respectively. Although the mouse buttons could be mapped to keyboard shortcuts, and then these keyboard shortcuts could be used with kitty, this would break the current functionality of the mouse buttons with Chrome, etc.
