As a user pointed out, "by not being able to use the mouse buttons _at_all_, 
you very quickly discover that Traverso is different in user interface 
interaction, I think you should keep it like that".

The question is, to what degree should mouse buttons be added?
Standard menu's and buttons are great, and I'll certainly gonna use them!
But when you mix the keyboard/mouse concept with 'standard' mouse button 
actions, the results could be more confusing at first, and learn you less 
quickly how to use Traverso efficiently, and make the learning curve even 
higher....

Another point, ones you use a mousen button for something, you can't use it 
for something else at the same time.
It would be awesome if the mouse buttons could be used in a more powerfull 
way, then just the drag/drop thing....
