Comment (by humdinger):

 I was just about to file another ticket concerning the middle-mousebutton,
 when I remembered vaguely that I did that already sometime... :) I just
 add to this one then, acknowledging that OPT+click for moving windows
 would interfere with apps already using the OPT key (e.g. WonderBrush):

 How about CTRL+OPT+LMB for MMB?

 Also, MMB plus moving the mouse could emulate the mouse-wheel (moving up
 or right for wheel-up, moving down or left for wheel-down). This would
 make life easier for people with a laptop or a two-button mouse or a mouse
 without wheel, esp. for zooming in e.g. ShowImage and WonderBrush. Web+
 could also profit (MMB opens links in a new tab), but that doesn't seem to
 care about mouse button emulation: CTRL+LMB isn't recognized as right-
 click.
