Better, but are you aware that new users have no idea what "mouse-2" or "mouse-3" means? Some common hardware has only one or two mouse buttons, and in the case of two buttons, "mouse-1" is known as "left click", and "mouse-3" (or "mouse-2") are known as "right click". Can the tooltip refer to the key from which a "mouse-n" event results?

(I don't know the world of GNU/Linux GUI desktops well, since I use a tty for that, but perhaps mouse-3 is actually well known there, in which case it would be less of a problem.)
