        You can use "button3" (which is equal to a middle mouse button) mouse gesture anywhere outside web content.
        For an example (go to Mouse Setup and edit it):

        [Advanced] - [Address dropdown widget]

        button3 = Paste and go

        This gesture sets middle mouse button for "paste and go" function when it's performed over Address Bar.

          opera:config#UserPrefs|PageBarOpenURLOnMiddleClick to open the pasteboard contents in a new tab (like paste and go, but without the extra step of focusing the address bar).

          Middle-click and then drag for fast scrolling — also useful for viewing very large images.

          Shift + Middle-click opens the Middle-click options dialogue.

            Thanks to both !!!

            so that in standard_mouse.ini

            I need to add a new column like this:

            [Advanced] - [Address dropdown widget]

            button3 = Paste and go

            Question, can I also add:

            [Advanced]

            button3 = send queue mail ( or any other general mouse gestures ? )

            Thank you
            Edmond.

              You don't add the Advanced at all. If you are going through the Shortcuts dialog, [Address dropdown widget] is automatically classified under Advanced. If you are editing the file by hand for some reason, do not include the Advanced part at all.
