If your mouse is over-sensitive, maybe you could slow down the double-click speed.
Probably there is a way to prevent the browser to open the Alerts page: like a Tampermonkey script? I don't know.

): it shows the conversations
Of course they do not work when you're writing a post.
Try them, I don't know if they work for everybody. I'm using Linux + Google Chrome.
If you have any issue, maybe report it on
