Middle mouse emulation

The printable version is no longer supported and may have rendering errors. Please update your browser bookmarks and please use the default browser print function instead.

If you use a keyboard like a Unicomp Endura you might find yourself without a middle mouse button. Fortunately, you can press the left and right buttons together to emulate the behavior of pressing a middle mouse button, but only if you create or edit your xorg.conf in /ect/X11 and add the following entry:

  Section "InputClass"
       Identifier "middle button emulation class"
       MatchIsPointer "on"
       Option "Emulate3Buttons" "on"
       Option "MiddleEmulation" "on"
   EndSection
