What happens if you use a mouse with a sufficient number of buttons?
Seems like if you didn't have to fake the middle and right buttons, the
keystrokes could go right through. Or can't a Mac handle 3 button mice
(I know they can be used via USB, electrically)?

Under Unix, these are Alt-B and Alt-Z. Look at "help/command key help"
in Squeak.

What if you don't bother with one of the mouse buttons, and map Option
or Command to Alt instead?
