Is there a way to set up modifier keys in conjunction with the first 
mouse button instead of keys that actually act like a mouse button? 
It's counter-intuitive to point the mouse at something and then go hit a 
key on the keyboard to make a click.  Holding a key on the keyboard 
while you click with the real mouse button is a lot more intuitive (and 
it's what Apple does - holding the control key while you click is the 
same as a right-click on Mac OS)
