Enhanced middle mouse button operation, making full use of the dual panel

[page-down]

Note: This issue is extracted from the Marta 0.8.1 Beta EAP #750. Link to the original comment: https://github.com/marta-file-manager/marta-issues/issues/750#issuecomment-885866924

Currently the middle mouse click only opens the folder in a new background tab in the active pane.

However the advantages of the dual panel file manager should be fully utilized to provide more convenient features.

For example, open the folder in inactive pane with the middle mouse button click.

Here are some scenarios:

• Open in new tab (switch to new tab)
• Open in new background tab
• Open in inactive pane new tab (switch inactive pane to new tab)
• Open in inactive pane new background tab
• Clone to the inactive pane (without new tab, to quickly view folder contents)

In addition, you can also make full use of the keyboard modifier keys.

This includes holding Control, Shift, Option, Command to perform different actions.

For the binding of mouse buttons, please refer to #801 .

I'm new and was just looking for how to open a folder in the inactive pane. That's a very common feature of dual pane managers, but if I understand above, this isn't present here? It's look like the feature I want is "Clone," though it clones the active pane rather than a selected folder (in the active pane), as the docs imply.

Later: Never mind, I see there is both a "Clone to" and "Clone current folder to"; I was looking for the former.
