It does do useful things on Windows. There are the browser behaviors I mentioned above. Most image editors use middle click to pan, and I think 3D modeling programs use it to rotate and pan as well. It's only in dedicated text boxes that middle click does nothing useful, but we're all so used to Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V that we don't have any desire to use that button for pasting.
- claudius 13y agoCertainly, but those are all related to holding the middle mouse button and moving the mouse, not clicking per se. Similar behaviour is available on X with something like: Option "EmulateWheel" "on" Option "EmulateWheelButton" "2" Option "XAxisMapping" "6 7" Option "YAxisMapping" "4 5" Which is exactly the way I scroll: Hold the middle button and move the trackpoint.
