cattery boxes vs pedigree looking at individual cats

Yep.

*SOME* (not many) laptops will simulate a middle-click if you 'chord' the left and right buttons .. that is, press both at the same time. Some support this by having the chord event fire off a script on which simulates a middle-button click .. you might find the script with a Google search.

*SOME* (like my HP laptop) will simulate a middle-click if you 'chord' a three-finger tap on the touchpad area.

*SOME* (one .. Synoptics) touch-pad drivers allow you to set up areas of your touchpad to simulate things like middle-click (or open browser, or open email, or etc.).

*SOME* (very few) will simulate the 'wheel' event when you slide up and down the left edge of the touch pad and simulate a wheel-click (middle button click) when you slide down the right side.

*SOME* (apple OS???) use a key-press-and-left-click to simulate a middle-click.

My preferred solution is to run to Walmart and get a wireless keyboard and mouse. That way I am using the same full-size keyboard and mouse-with-wheel on all my systems .. just move the little USB dongle from system to system as needed. Costs about 20USD and solve all sorts of operator-error issues for me. It's WWAAYY better than the bad old days when I had six monitors and six keyboards on the workbench, or decided that was a mess and used a six-way monitor and keyboard switch to get back a LOT of workspace. It's SOOO nice use a REAL keyboard and mouse and Remove Desktop access any of my systems from my Surface RT (yeah! the worthless piece of junk can actually do real work! What does RT mean, anyway .. 'Retro-Technology'?) even when I'm outside in my rocker enjoying the sunrise with my morning coffee.
