Middle-click to rename clips in the Playlist

Excuse the provocative title--I know middle-click is used for navigation in the Playlist (pan-view). What I am requesting here is to add context-sensitive functionality to the middle-click, whilst not affecting the way the middle-button currently works, as follows:

Middle-click to rename: Middle-click the clip menu button (see pick below) without moving the mouse to show the clip Rename / color... window. To avoid interference the the middle button's "pan view" function (which is the main function), the rename window is only displayed when the middle-button is released and if and only if the mouse hasn't moved since the button was pressed down.

Shift+Click to rename: Exactly the same as with middle-click, but using Shift+Click. Shift+Click is already used for renaming in other parts of FL, and is useful for pointing devices without a middle button (e.g. some trackpads).

Here is the clip menu button:
