Use left and right mouse button to close tabs

#1

Hey guys!

I have a question concerning the behavior for clicking right and left mouse button to close a tab.

What do i mean?
In most applications like web browsers or text editors it is possible for “notebook-users” to click both left and right mouse button to close a tab.
When trying this in Sublime Text v3 the cursor is changing to a “scroll cursor” even if i try to close a tab in an external application the cursor is changing to a scroll cursor and the tab is not closed. Even the icon in the task bar icon of Sublime Text flashes as there would be a message from the Sublime Text application.

The cursor looks like four arrows each in one direction with a dot in the middle.

Does anyone have a solution to change this “shortcut” or unregister pressing both mouse buttons from being used by Sublime Text?

thanks for your input!
