What is a mouse shortcut

AquaSnap allows you to assign a new function to every clickable element of the window frames. We call this a mouse shortcut. A mouse shortcut permits you to trigger a specific action by clicking with a given mouse button (up to 5 mouse buttons are supported) on a specific area of the window frame ( minimize, maximize and close buttons, borders and corners of the window, etc.). Modifier keys (Shift, Ctrl, Alt) can also be used.
