I tried Plan9 as a minimalist desktop. I soon realised that three-button mouse chording isn't doable in this decade, and wish someone had written a Platinum-like window manager to replace rio.
- anthk 2y agoForking Rio to create a Twm clone would be nice.
- rcarmo 2y agoIt's been somewhat done (there are a couple of forks out there, but nothing usable or maintained).

- rcarmo 2y agoTry doing that on a trackpad--but if I wanted to use a mouse, the chording is too cumbersome.
- lproven 2y agoOn my work MacBook Air, I installed a FOSS app. https://github.com/artginzburg/MiddleClick-Sonoma https://github.com/artginzburg/MiddleClick-Sonoma Works well, but I miss the physical middle button on my Thinkpads. The chording isn't really cumbersome, just unfamiliar. You get used to it quite quickly with a few tens of minutes of practice.
