  I find the middle mouse button very useful as a trigger. However, I very often use that button to open links in another window. Is it possible to instruct QAP to use the middle mouse button as a trigger only if the mouse cursor is not on a link? Thanks in advance.

  No, it is not possible. It would be difficult for QAP to detect that your mouse is over a link. What it can do is detect the window under the mouse and disable the mouse trigger on some windows. See:

  Thank you Jean for your reply. Unfortunately this approach doesn't work for me since I use the "open in a new tab" feature in various contexts. So I think the better way for me is to find an alternative for either the trigger (QAP) or the feature.

  Yes, you can easily select another trigger than the Middle Mouse Button in "Options, Popup Hotkeys". For example, if your mouse supports it, I found the Wheel Right trigger very convenient (if you do not use this button to scroll right).

  samugyx,
  
  Most browsers will open a link in a new tab by doing a Ctrl + left mouse button while over them.
  
  I also go into QAP options, Menu Exclusions and exclude Firefox.exe. I haven't added the other browsers I use (Edge and Brave ) and they work fine.

  Hi Dale, thank you for your message. I really use a lot the open in a new tab feature. So ctrl + left mouse button is not a good solution for me.
