Ctrl+click not working as intended on MacOS

[d9i]

Steps to reproduce

1. Install Firefox with Sidebery on MacOS
2. ctrl+click on a tab
3. move the mouse cursor

Expected behavior

The tab is selected, but the browser doesn't switch to that tab. I can ctrl+click again on a different tab to add that to my selection.

Actual behavior

A range of tabs is selected, following my cursor. The only way to deselect these tabs is by clicking the right mouse button on a tab. Happy to share a video of this behavior if it's helpful.

I think what's going on here is that MacOS interprets Ctrl+click as a Right-click. IMO a good fix would be to switch the keybinding for Mac to Cmd+click (the most common "select multiple" keybind on MacOS) - or even give us the option to change the keybinding in the settings if that's easier.

Thanks for the report. You're right, I should use cmd instead of ctrl in macOS.

To add to this: this means that users cannot perform a right-click when using the trackpad (because that's ctrl-click on macOS). Instead of opening the right-click menu to interact with sidebery tabs, it selects a tab.

What works though:

• using a mouse with dedicated right-click.
• issuing a "secondary click" on the trackpad (click with index and middle finger).
