Thanks, but I think this is confusing, both because the links behaves
differently and because it differs from what other GUI:s (web browsers) do.
I believe the documentation GUI should be as intuitive as possible if we
want to attract new users.

I did not follow the discussion previously all the way. I however got the
impression that the points above where important.

BTW is mouse-2 the middle button? As previously many have pointed out there
are no such button on very many pc:s.
