+=== Mouse bindings
+
+A mouse binding makes i3 execute a command upon pressing a specific mouse
+button in the scope of the clicked container (see <<command_criteria>>). You
+can configure mouse bindings in a similar way to key bindings.
+
+*Syntax*:
+----------------------------------
+bindsym [--release] [--whole-window] [Modifiers+]button[n] command
+----------------------------------
+
+By default, the binding will only run when you click on the titlebar of the
+window. If the +--whole-window+ flag is given, it will run when any part of the
+window is clicked. If the +--release+ flag is given, it will run when the mouse
+button is released.
+
+*Examples*:
+--------------------------------
+# The middle button over a titlebar kills the window
+bindsym --release button2 kill
+
+# The middle button and a modifer over any part of the window kills the window
+bindsym --whole-window $mod+button2 kill
+
+# The right button toggles floating
+bindsym button3 floating toggle
+bindsym $mod+button3 floating toggle
+
+# The side buttons move the window around
+bindsym button9 move left
+bindsym button8 move right
