In reply to Windows behaviour for the right-click, button 1 (assuming it
is left-click) is pressed, there seems to be a slight delay before the
timer is triggered for button 3. It sounds similar to the first method
you mentioned. Because of closed nature of Windows, I don't know how
that exactly works.

I think it would be nice to include that functionality someday.
