In Keyboard shortcuts I want MOUSE+KEYBOARD keybinding for ease of use
----------------------------------------------------------------------
There are many things which can be done easier when you have mouse and keyboard \
combinations (keybindings) working together.

if you allow mouse buttons with keyboard buttons as keybindings there will be many \
tasks that can be done very easily and efficiently.

Strangely there exist very popular and nice KEYBOARD+MOUSE keybindings but the user \
is not allowed to configure it:

1. the existing example is the ALT+mouse keybinding for kwin, though not documented \
and cannot be changed as it should have been. This is most common and everybody likes \
it.  a. you can resize the window using ALT+RMB
    b. you can send a window backward with ALT+MMB
    c. you can move a window with ALT+LMB

2. using wheel mouse you can scroll and down, using shift you can increase or \
decrease font size, and alt+scrolling will move the horizontal scroll bar. esp. web \
pages, text and pdf documents are very easy to work with.

3. SELECTION: of files and text is done mostly with the help the mouse+keyboard keys. \
like if you want to select 2 different files/folders you use CTRL+LMB on each file.


I ask why can't we use these 5 mouse buttons with 100+ keyboard keys to create \
virtually so many possibilities of shortcuts, simplifying user tasks.

I request to allow keybindings with keyboard to do different tasks. like:

1. ctrl+alt+lmb -> copy  file/selection
2. ctrl+alt+mmb -> cut   file/selection
3. ctrl+alt+rmb -> paste file/selection

Required Mouse keys and keyboard keys for bindings:
1. LMB
2. MMB
3. RMB
4. Wheel scrolling UP
5. Whell scrolling down

and using Mouse buttons followed by keyboard keys are great option (make sure the \
mouse button is not released, before the binded key say 'a' (LMB+A)

Mouse buttons is pressed first then a keyboard key is pressed and bothe are released:

Examples of good working possibilites to use mouse and keyboard:

sn  Mouse+key    comment                     Existing keyboard shortcuts
1.  LMB+B     -> to bold selected text     ->CTRL+B
2.  LMB+I     -> to itilicize selected text->CTRL+I
3.  LMB+C     -> to copy selected text/files->CTRL+C

The lmb+[anykey] combination is just having CTRL+[anykey], so we can have as many as \
shortcuts for CTRL+ combination.

same with MMB and with RMB. thanks
