NOTES:
1. In the X11 port, pressing the middle mouse button anywhere within the THE window, will result in the contents of the X selection being pasted where the text cursor is currently displayed. If you hold down any modifier key, such as SHIFT or CONTROL, that sequence is passed to THE and can be mapped. Therefore; PMB or RMD is NOT able to be used in THE, but C-PMB, C-RMB, S-PMB etc. can.
2. The button action DOUBLE_CLICKED will always be preceded by a PRESS and a RELEASE action. This is the first "click" of the double click. It will also be followed by a RELEASE action. Thus a double click results in 4 actions:
PRESS
RELEASE
DOUBLE_CLICK
RELEASE
