Maybe this isn't much an issue on MacOS (I never use it), but to me as soon as you can't right click with one hand with trackpad, there is no way I would use it over a mouse.
And how do you do middle click at all even with two hands? I use that frequently (browsers, CAD, etc..).
- na85 5y agoSay what? Hasn't "two finger tap == right click" been a thing for like 15 years? Three-finger tap to middle click is the same, again for years.
- thrdbndndn 5y agoI don't think it's a thing on Windows, but I don't have a laptop with me RN to test.
- na85 5y agoIt's definitely a thing on my wife's crappy Dell XPS running windows 10.
- genocidicbunny 5y agoIt's a thing on Windows, and they have a bunch of other ones (including triple taps, swipes..etc) With that said, first thing I turn off on a new Windows install on a laptop is...well, it's telemetry, but after that it's the gestures.
- dylan604 5y agoHow do you enable three-finger tap to be middle click? The only thing I have found is Cmd+two-finger tap to be the middle click. I just took a look in the track pad system prefs, and nothing about a 3-finger tap. I'd love to have a one-handed middle click option.

- marcosdumay 5y agoCan you do this at all with a trackpad and physical buttons? When I use the physical buttons on my (quite large) trackpad, I use 2 hands, but a real mouse makes a world of difference, and I can't get enough precision out of a trackpad to design anything.
- na85 5y agoI have not once in my 36 years of life had to middle-click-drag, so... I don't know.
- ryeights 5y agoI do that frequently on my desktop to scroll webpages. However, with a touchpad, there’s a gesture for that (tm)…

- fouc 5y agoThere's no middle click with MacOS trackpad, gestures replace that. Like 3 finger swipe left/right for example.
