MouseMiddle as a modifier

[CodedNil]

Hi

Would it be possible to enable mouse middle as a modifier, maybe this is a very niche usecase but I'd like to do Mod+MouseMiddle+WheelScrollDown as an example to focus-workspace-down
I'm trying to do a heavily mouse focused keybind scheme and since it's a built in part of most mice that you can scroll while holding the middle mouse, that seems like a natural function to support as an additional modifier while scrolling, for example you could do super+wheelscrollup/down for volume then super+mousemiddle+wheelscrollup/down for focus up and down

Also it is a default gesture to do super + hold middlemouse and drag the mouse to switch workspaces, this would just simplify that further into a scroll instead of moving the mouse.

Hope that explanation makes sense.
Thanks

Currently we rely on xkb modifiers, so it would be some work to support anything else

Btw how do you hold middle while scrolling wheel? Is the wheel separate on your mouse somehow?

No problem, thanks for the reply.

I'm using a Logitech G502 and it supports scrolling while the mouse wheel is pressed down.

I'm also on a G502 but this does not feel comfortable lol

Imagine getting RSI with a mouse wheel lol.
