I totally agree with the color buttons being really confusing. What's funny is that it's not even consistent. For instance, preference "swapMouseButtons" comment is "if true, swaps mouse buttons 2 and 3". What's that suppose to mean? Weren't mouse buttons colored?? :)
However, I have a question: once you change the names to left, right, middle, what will happen if swapMouseButtons is true? Will "middleClick" still mean "middleClick"?
