I finally managed to find the right search command for Google because
of this Wiki. Thank you!

someone else the hassle of finding this info):

PS I have yet to try out these solutions (all seem to revolve around

be greedy and try for more since I have a 13 button mouse if you
include the up/down scroll actions as buttons)).
