Muscle memory, no middle click on most trackpads. It just feels weird coming from a browser after using Control+C to copy something and then having to use Contr

  I've never used a non-mac laptop without a middle button. Muscle memory and 'the way things work' works both ways. You have to jump through hoops to do basic things like focus-follows-mouse/raise on click, multiple desktops, alt-drag to move a window etc (to be honest I'm not sure if you can even do those on a mac)

    ThinkPads are what I reach for on the PC side of things, and those still have a dedicated middle button for the most part. Otherwise I can't think of a single modern example of a laptop with a middle button. They're all click pads these days like Macs.

      The standard unix 3rd button emulation is left+right click at the same time. Should work pretty much everywhere without configuration.

        In the case of "tap to click", a 3 finger tap would also emulate this, or as a middle mouse click.

  > no middle click on most trackpads If your trackpad has multitouch, triple touch should correspond to the middle click. Works for me on Linux by default.
