Description Salvo "LtWorf" Tomaselli 2016-04-16 19:23:55 UTC
I have a trackpoint.

So I normally use 1 finger to move the cursor, and 1 to click. So for me it is difficult to click both left and right.

The middle button can be used, however since I have configured Xorg to use middlebutton+mouse movement as scroll button, the mouse pressed event for the middle button is only generated together with the released event, after I release it.

This means that when I click the middle button, I don't see the nearby cells changing, because they change and go back to normal in an instant, when I release.

Probably providing some alternative method for this, or simply making all the buttons configurable could work to solve this.

I could for example use scroll down as middle button and I wouldn't have any trouble.

Reproducible: Always
