Description of the new feature / enhancement

When this setting is enabled, then clicking anywhere on the screen whilst in ruler mode will:

  1. Copy the measurement to the clipboard (as it does presently)
  2. Close the ruler (not done presently)

The only ways to close the ruler currently are to move the mouse back to the top of the screen and close the utility, or to press ESC on the keyboard.

Scenario when this would be used?

I have a button on my screen that calls an AutoHotkey script. This script in turn enters the necessary keyboard combination to open the ruler. I have created this button so that I can quickly make measurements with just the mouse. The current options of closing the utility are slower than just being able to click the mouse (where my hand and cursor already are) rather than having to move my hand to the ESC key or the cursor to the top of the screen.
