Describe the feature

I've been testing Zed on Linux for a little while, and I was surprised to find no support or even a mention of middle mouse binding.

As you may know, Atom and Sublime both allow binding middle mouse click.

All JetBrains IDEs allow it too and use middle click as the default for Go To Definition.

Visual Studio has a MiddleClickDefinition plugin with 8000+ installs.

It's been one of the top requested features for VSCode since 2016, but sadly has been mostly ignored.

• Allow customization of mouse shortcuts microsoft/vscode#3130
• enable middle mouse button to open links and go to definition microsoft/vscode#154465

I know all the vim wizards have already thrown their mice away, but for the rest of us commonfolk this feature would go a long way towards easing the transition from other editors/IDEs.

If applicable, add mockups / screenshots to help present your vision of the feature

Linking to:

• User configurable mouse bindings (e.g. via keymap.json) #10647

Will keep this open, as it makes a more compelling case for adding it.
