What if I use a trackpad without a mouse?

@annieappflowy I did suggest a double-click but it's probably harder to implement than for mmb.

I think we also need navigating between tabs with a keyboard, i.e. CTRL+TAB and CTRL+SHIFT+TAB.

CTRL + left click or right click -> open in new tab is usually how you would do so without using the middle mouse button.

Personally, I use CTRL + PGUP and CTRL + PGDN to navigate between tabs.

Then you right click and click open in a new tab... 👀 - Or hold CTRL/CMD + Left Click

Edit: I can see right click doesn't open the menu items action menu, I'll check if there's an existing issue or create one.

The problem with double clicking is, that it is basically implemented using debounce, which means single taps will have some delay lag, which I'm not a huge fan of.

Will implement both CTRL + Left Click and Ctrl + PGUP/Ctrl + PGDN

I would also like for us to be able to open a page link (inside a document) in a new tab using MMB.
