 In IRC and jabber MUC rooms (multi-user conferences) it's often required
 to mention a user you're sending message to. And it would be nice if there
 were some easy way to do that. Tab-completion is a bit hard to use for
 utf-nicknames ("قية") and when several nicks have same first characters
 ("greg1", "gregory", "ghost" and "grant").

 That was already suggested several times. The point of this ticket is to
 do that with middle mouse click. Both left and right mouse buttons are in
 use, but middle click in a chat window is unused. So it can be used for
 pasting nicknames into message area at cursor position. It's also known
 that middle click is used for copy-paste, so this also looks consistent.

 PS: another related idea: when middle-clicking to the message itself -
 insert its text to the message area (or its selected part, if any). And
 click on a timestamp can be used to insert entire message (with time, nick
 and the text itself).
