Blame the 20 or so years of mouse development.
North Carolina State University, the National Center for Atmospheric Research & GNOME agree with s.keeling. http://www.ncsu.edu/it/essentials/connections_labs/workstations/unix/basic_mouse.html The mouse attached to a Unix workstation has three buttons. Each button does something different. Let's start by giving each button a name. First, position the mouse so that the cord is at the top. * MB1 (mouse button 1) is the left button. * MB2 (mouse button 2) is the middle button. * MB3 (mouse button 3) is the right button. http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/idv/docs/workshop/installandstart/basics/MouseAndKeyboard.html All references to mouse buttons are in respect to a 3-button right-handed mouse: * MB1 (mouse button 1) is the left button. * MB2 (mouse button 2) is the middle button. * MB3 (mouse button 3) is the right button. If you are using a left-handed mouse, MB1 is the right button and MB3 is the left-button. http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome-doc-list/2000-October/msg00138.html "Most GNOME documents assume that you are using a standard (for UNIX) 3-button mouse. It is common to refer to mouse buttons by numbers: MB1, MB2, MB3. If you are using a usual 3-button mouse, then MB1 is left, MB2 is middle, and MB3 is left; if you are using 2-button mouse, MB1 is left, MB3 is right, and you can emulate MB2 by simultaneously pressing left and right mouse buttons. If you are using a wheel mouse, the wheel plays the role of MB2, -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.3 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFEdkF+S9HxQb37XmcRAvOLAJ9kUudjZTn0W/XNsLojAIbLILqUyQCg0mWO ejVGqFguMU7p9wKgo7tYZq0= =8POc -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
