I read through the old Nautilus ChangeLogs, and found an entry back in
2001:
2002-11-28 Alexander Larsson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
(...)
* libnautilus-private/nautilus-icon-container.c:
query-drag with middle button. Open context menus faster.
(#46276)
Patch by Marco Pesenti Gritti.
The gist of the associated bug report [1] (quotation by Alex Larsson):
“For two-button mice Alt-drag is already availible. Query-dragging is a
seldom used feature that should not impede on usage of the context
menu.”
best regards,
