[Feature Request] Customizable mouse shortcuts / mouse button mapping to trigger Scan #869

Description

@princeestoque

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

My printer/scanner is located outside my room, away from my PC. When scanning multiple documents or pages, I currently have to walk back to my desk to click the "Scan" button on the PC for every single page/batch.

Describe the solution you'd like

I would like support for mouse shortcuts, specifically the ability to bind mouse buttons to trigger the Scan action.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Keyboard shortcuts: NAPS2 supports keyboard shortcuts, but carrying a keyboard is cumbersome compared to holding a compact wireless mouse near the scanner.
AutoHotkey/external scripts: While possible to map mouse buttons to keypresses via third-party software, having native mouse button configuration within NAPS2's shortcut settings would be much cleaner and easier to manage.

Additional context

Adding mouse button bindings to the existing shortcut settings menu would significantly improve accessibility and efficiency for users operating networked or remote hardware setups.
