While the Windows key does not do anything by itself, it can be
used. It is a modifier key, like shift, ctrl or alt. (It is mapped
as modifier 4.) So you could use it is setting up more memorable key
combinations.

Since it is a modifier key, how would I set it up in Gnome so that holding
down the Windows key and left clicking simulates a middle click.

(In Firefox, ctrl-left-click opens a link in a new tab, but that's only in
Firefox.  I'd like to set Windows-left-click = middle-click all through Gnome.)
