Too confusing for a first-time computer user or a small child. Having two small kids myself, I agree one button would be better for learning.

- tomcam 4y agoExcept it gives rise to double-click, triple-click, shift-click, command-click, option-click, etc.
- rib3ye 4y agoDouble-click was always easy to teach, to my knowledge there isn’t a triple-click. There wasn’t command-click until OSX.
- tomcam 4y agoOS X has been around for 21 years. Many readers of hacker news aren’t that old yet. Triple click is only a thing on iOS, apparently. Thank you for the correction: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204390 https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204390 Double click is easy to teach but it’s sure as hell not discoverable. Whereas second and middle button advocates have, to me, semi convincingly claimed that they could also be taught through consistent application. In other words, not better but not worse.
