Set scroll wheel to navigate between items #49

Description

What's your idea?

It would be great to be able to set the mouse wheel to function like the up and down arrows for navigating through items and use the middle click like 'enter' to paste.

How does this improve your experience?

This would minimize the hand movement required for pasting a clipped item.

I've found that, when repeatedly pasting multiple clips, having to move my hands over to the arrow keys and hit enter or having to locate the clip with the cursor and double click can be very disruptive to the flow. It often results in misclicks or flubbed keystrokes when trying to go quickly.

Being able to just index off of scroll wheel clicks and use the middle mouse button as an Enter would make the entire process much speedier and less prone to keystroke errors.

As a side note, I suspect this may require some fiddling with how CopyPaste manages focus. I've noticed that calling CopyPaste with the shortcut key will bring up the window, but it won't be in focus. To paste with the mouse, you have to click on the window first to get it in focus, and then double click on the item or click once and hit Enter. Using the arrow keys immediately after calling the window seems to automatically bring it into focus.
