How often do you click your middle mouse button?

[her209]

I use it quite often with Firefox to open links in tabs.

yea I use it to open a link into a new tab

also for more precise (or really fast) scrolling on a page

 

[SlitheryDee]

I use it to open tabs and as an alternate forward key in some games.

Middle click for Firefox new tabs, and used to use it for games.

Every time someone posts a thread asking me how often I do it.

 

[ElFenix]

never

my old logitech mouse had buttons above and below the scroll wheel that would scroll just by holding down the button. it was great for scrolling through long things. my new logitech mouse has the same buttons, but they kept adjusting the resolution of the mouse rather than the driver setting of scrolling. annoying.

Sounds like a personal question.

I clicked it to get into this thread.

I use it all the time for pasting text in an xwindows environment. I'm surprised no one else has mentioned this.

All the time, I have applications that use it to pan the screen.

Its a pain to try to do middle click on my mouse's scroll wheel. On my laptop, its very easy middle click (press both left and right).

I use it all the time to pan around in Cadance Allegro and other CAD programs.

 

[CraKaJaX]

I use it to Open/Close tabs and it is also my button to talk with in vent.

At least once a day to read my daily comics, website feeds, temperature, and stocks.

So....no lie, but upon the reading of this thread title I had my cursor on the link and tried my middle mouse button for shits and giggles. It opened the thread in a new tab. Crazy.

All the time. Then I got one of the newer Logitech mice, where you have to click a different button as clicking the scroll wheel button changes the scrolling. I like the feature, but I would have preferred to retain the wheel clicking.

Lol, all this time and I didn't know you could close tabs like that, thanks!

 

[ConstipatedVigilante]

I use it to open new tabs, and it's also my melee key in FPS games. And I have it bound to a common action in just about every game. So I use it a lot.

I learnt something 🙂

Thanks

Often.
Thumb button is mapped to Shift.
Middle is mapped to Ctrl.
