--- Comment #5 from Tom Hughes <[email protected]> --- So I've been investgating a bit more to try and discover why I currently have my laptop setup with a fake middle button (as you say, the clickpad is just marked with one line in the middle) and I think I have figured out the history... My previous laptop had physical buttons and middle click was emulated when both were pressed together, which wasn't ideal as it's a bit fiddly for something that I do very often, but wasn't terrible. When I replaced it the new one had a clickpad and it seems I discovered what I have just rediscovered while trying to enable middle click emulation - the current synaptics X driver doesn't support middle click emulation (by pressing left and right together) for cickpads! Having discovered however that I could define custom boundaries to create an unmarked middle button I went with that, which is also a bit more convenient than for a common operation like pasting. I was unaware until just now that clicking with three fingers also did middle mouse - that does indeed work with synaptics but it's very fiddly. So if the new libinput driver does support middle as left+right then that's probably not as bad as I thought it would be, though a fake middle button would certainly give easier access to middle button functionality. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
