Comment:

 I think before we start changing core behaviors in Haiku, changing Web+ is
 a nice "testing ground."

 Though we now have another ticket very closely related to this (#7786),
 and I think twinbee makes some good points, and he knows what he is
 talking about when it comes to latency in operating systems.

 In general I think the sensible and safe road is to make most non-
 destructive operations operate on mouse-down. I'll eventually add a tab
 closing undo stack to Web+ so even that will become non-destructive too.
 Then maybe we could have an option to make other actions such as button
 clicks happen on mouse down.
