    Well, there is room for PD software. The screen blanker I use has
    "left-click-and-hold, right-click" for moving the current window
    (or screen) to the back. It also has "double-left-click" to bring
    the current window to the front (plus other user definable
    variations).

    Other software uses the "both-click" as an easily read trigger to
    stop some CPU intensive operation. This can be useful when priorities
    get out of hand, and straight Intuition input is put on hold by
    the priority problems.

    The text/graphics snapping program I use has "C= right-click" to
    paste (as well as a pure keyboard "C= S"). And both are user
    definable.
