I'm just using a basic ms compatible mouse that has a scroll wheel/third button i.e. it clicks if you just press it. Whether it does anything depends on the current software. Sometimes it is just a matter of setting an action in a table. Currently, in a xterm box and a virtual terminal it pasts the buffer (load with control c/x). AFAIR it has been that way since the "start of time(Jessie)" and in the epochs before. Logictech and other manufacturers also make multi(additional)-button mice and usually provide at least a driver for the current MS version. There are of course various efforts to develop open source drivers so an investigation in that area may yield a solution. _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
