This might be a good idea, though I'm not sure what I think about
changing such basic behaviour per user.

Oh, I'm about 99% this will confuse the heck out of everybody.

Is Ctrl-B not an option for you?

Yeah, it seems like an omission (that nobody has complained about before, though).

I am not sure where to go from here, to be honest. Gone context menu seems like
a bug, so filing it is good idea. I vaguely recall there were some technical
quirks there. As for customization the behavior on left click, and "toggle breakpoint",
I suppose filing a bug is also possible, but I'm not sure either of these will be
done soonish.
