I suggest you don't use an un-selectable mouse icon for your mouse shortcuts, but rather the text for the specific mouse input (or at least include it after the icon) for the shortcut, e.g. "middle-click", "left-click", "right-click", etc. This would make the shortcuts more SEO-friendly/text-searchable. Otherwise, when I accidentally perform an operation, e.g. in Unreal 5, by middle-clicking something, if I try to search the list of shortcuts for "middle click", "middle-click", or even just "click", I can't find any results.

Thank you for your suggestions.

The site allowed searches such as "leftclick", "rightclick" but it wasn't apparent. Now I made a few quick changes to allow it with spaces or hypen. So searching for "left click" or "right click" now works.

This is about site search on the top. The "in-page" search is separate and not so advanced, but I also made it to see "click" word (it won't work right away like site search, as JS is cached on CDNs). It requires separate work, and as the site is multilanguage, I need to think about it if I do it.

Now I don't plan to go text only for mouse shortcuts, but icons can be bigger. Search engines would probably also look their attributes, or hyperlink which include the text.
