Don't know. More obscure combos, like Cmd-Option, should be safe enough, I 
guess.

Sounds reasonable.

Mainly because it unnecessarily duplicated the left mouse button behavior 
and I wanted to free it up for other uses. Given that some hardware doesn't 
have a middle mouse button it might be better to choose a different 
gesture, though. E.g. pressing the right mouse button while dragging with 
the left could enable the S&T dragging mode.
