how is a magic "4" better than MouseEvent.MIDDLE_BUTTON_PRESSED?

Heheheh. Well I guess we're getting down into the weeds now and into the aesthetics of it which are nevertheless personal.

To me, it's obscene and ugly. Over the top. 4 isn't so magic when you realize that the middle button is normally considered the 3rd after the first and second buttons. And when you stretch those values into a bit field, with zero representing nothing, it's natural that the middle (or aux button) will occupy 4.

Hahaha! :) At least to my thinking. Hahaha :)

What do you think? :)
