function MODEL:mouseAction(button, modifiers)
   -- print("Mouse action", button, modifiers.alt, modifiers.control)
   if button == 1 then
     -- left mouse button
     if modifiers.shift then
       self:startTransform("rotate", modifiers.shift)
     elseif modifiers.control then
       self:startTransform("stretch", modifiers.shift)
     else
       self:startModeTool(modifiers)
     end
   elseif button == 4 then
     -- middle mouse button
     if modifiers.control then
       self.ui:panTool(self:page(), self.vno)
     else
       self:startTransform("translate", modifiers.shift)
     end
   elseif button == 2 then
     -- right mouse button
     if modifiers.alt then
       self:propertiesPopup()
     else
       -- (non-)destructive select
       self.ui:selectTool(self:page(), self.vno,
			 prefs.select_distance, modifiers.shift)
     end
   end
end
