People frequently request either "new instance" or "close window" for middle-click, so unfortunately I think this will have to be a config option and I won't accept a patch that only implements the one behavior.

Even more I would expect that it copies the current copy buffer into a running instance. Middle click is paste after all.

@Eike : Ok, I'll add an option in the settings to choose between them. @Martin : I'm not sure to understand, what do you mean by copying the copy buffer ?

Middle click normaly pastes the content of the "copy buffer" (mark with left click to copy). My expected behavior would be that if e.g. I have a URL in the copy buffer and middle click a Firefox launcher it will open a new tab with the URL loaded.

That sounds like a really neat thing. Hidden, but really neat. :)

"Pass URL in clipboard as argument" could be an optional add-on behavior to "Start new instance" which would get that Firefox thing going. Bit concerned with an option jungle though and I fear it's too unpredictable and too likely to lead to bad results to make a default ...

I think it's a very nice idea too. But as you said, Eike, it will depend a lot of the app and the copied content. So having that as an option makes sense.

To sum up, we will have three choices for the mid button combo box : - Close app - Open new instance - Open new instance with clipboard content as argument

For the default one, I think it's better to have "Open new instance". "Close apps" can be dangerous if users don't know the behaviour.

Are you ok with that ?

Let's keep it simple for now and do:

On middle-click: Do nothing (Default) / Close Window / Start New Instance

Let's hold back the clipboard thing for now and perhaps try to do it in a second patch. It needs some fairly careful thought and implementation, e.g. parsing %u and %U in .desktop files (where windows can be mapped to them) to figure out what to with single vs. multiple URLs in the clipboard and possibly other MIME-related considerations.
