Gnome 3.16 Middle Button Emulation

Hey there. I did a full upgrade the other day, including Gnome everything to 3.16. Today I discovered that they've removed the `org.gnome.settings-daemon.peripherals.mouse middle-button-enabled` setting. I've hacked together a solution here: github.com/kurotetsuka-b/middle-button-emulation, based on this fedora forum post, but I was hoping someone knew of a better solution or if the setting still exists elsewhere. So, do you?

I'm having the same issue on a clean install. When power button was set to suspend, it worked, but I cannot get interactive power off to work. I verified that the ACPI event is coming through and is making it into the systemd journal,  but Gnome does not seem to be responding to it.
As a workaround, you can use a keyboard shortcut to show the interactive power dialog. Just open Settings -> Keyboard -> Shortcuts -> System and set the "Log out" shortcut to whatever you wish or use the default Ctrl+Alt+Delete. I mapped mine to Ctrl+PowerOff because I am using Ctrl+Alt+Delete to show the interactive logout dialog from a custom shortcut.

  • Middle click emulation not working.

    Hi,
    middle click emulation got turned off in a recent update and I don't seem to be able to turn it back on.
    I put this:
    Section "InputClass"
    Identifier "middle button emulation class"
    MatchIsPointer "on"
    Option "Emulate3Buttons" "on"
    EndSection
    in my xorg.conf.
    Now middle click emu works on my usb mouse (that already has a middle button) but not on the touchpad buttons. The touchpad emu used to work.
    I am not using synaptics. I hope I don't have to use it as I have had nothing but trouble from it in the past.

    I have been experiencing something similar recently, except that Xorg.0.log or dmesg don't show anything - and it works on and off, every few boots it will get disabled again. Don't have a clue

  • How can I disable the middle mouse emulation

    When I'm playing this one game, sometimes I right click then left click really fast to jump and shoot and it thinks I am pressing the middle button. I have a middle button, so there is no reason to emulate it by pressing the right and left buttons at the same time.

    Like the blog post stqn linked to says, middle mouse button emulation is off by default now. I had to explicitly enable it. Check whatever means you have to configure the mouse (xorg.conf, files in xorg.conf.d/, if you use them - gnome control center or other DE control panel) it must be activated somewhere. If it's not, try disabling it explicitly: in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf add this line to the first InputClass section:
    Option "Emulate3Buttons" "false"

  • [SOLVED] Middle-button scrolling – multiple directions

    Firefox has a nice feature: Edit -> Preferences -> Advanced -> General -> Use autoscrolling.
    With the middle mouse button hold down, it is possible to scroll oversize contents of a window in any direction.
    I would like to have the same functionality in any program, any window. I have learnt xinput and found this in Thinkwiki (and some other sites alike), and found these to be helpful. (I am trying to help a friend of mine with a Thinkpad, but I am experimenting with a mouse. I suppose trackpoint and mouse can be considered analogous in this regard.)
    So now I have these commands in an autostart script:
    xinput set-prop $device "Evdev Wheel Emulation" 1
    xinput set-prop $device "Evdev Wheel Emulation Button" 2
    xinput set-prop $device "Evdev Wheel Emulation Axes" 6 7 4 5
    where $device is the name/number of the corresponding pointer device from “xinput list”.
    So far, so good, it does what needed, except one thing: scrolling works in only the 4 main directions. If the pointer is moved e.g. in the NW direction, the page is scrolled either just upwards or just to the left.
    Does anybody have an idea how to “enable” all the other directions, like it works in Firefox?
    Thanks in advance.

    Let us know whether your tests succeeded, maybe we can extend the mouse–trackpoint analogy to stylus too…
    i did mess around with this, but in the end - instead, i have reconfigured 'Easystroke' Gesture recogniton software to emulate a mouse wheel/Micorosft Windows middle-button scroll.
    basically, my middle-mouse button is for gestures (when i hold it down), if i tap it and then touch/hold the stylus on the pad (first mouse button), then i can drag up or down. (maybe left and right too, but i haven't really checked). there is basically a rule you can set in easystroke called 'ignore', which allows this to ignore my gesture button unless i am holding it down.
    it works for me. in the past i had tried this method, but didn't like it-  but i think that had more to do with buggy driver / xorg. it's fine now though

  • Disable 3 button emulation in HAL?

    Hi All,
    When HAL picks up my mouse (Kensington PilotMouse) it maps the 2 regular buttons, the 2 buttons on the side and the mouse wheel, but maps the mouse wheel click as left and right buttons together. Now this seems to be the old X server "3 button emulation" kicking in, but how do I turn it off?
    I need all of my mouse buttons for games (which do run on linux surprisingly - wine has come a long way).
    Thanks for your time!
    Soggy.

    I think 3 button emulation is the other way round - it maps 2 clicks into 1 middle click. So this seems like a weird problem.
    Check your xorg.conf for extraneous settings, as well as the hal config files in /etc/hal/fdi and /usr/share/hal/fdi, but beyond that I'm not sure what to do. Use xev to test buttons if you want.

  • Trackpoint + middle button dragging still not working in Ultranav 16.2.19.2 driver

    Trackpoint + dragging is still not working with the Ultranav middle button as of 16.2.19.2 driver.
    It's an extremely important function for any 3D graphics program. With the Lenovo driver it's not possible to use the middle button + trackpoint to navigate in these programs!
    Lenovo, please fix this bug. It's working perfectly if I install the latest Synaptics driver. It's only happening with Lenovo's driver. Using Synaptics driver is not an option, because it has no guard against keyboard typing + touchpad accidental clicking.
    Test:
    Testing is very easy.
    1. Set your middle button behaviour to "None".
    2. Above an empty area of your desktop, click the middle button + try to move the mouse pointer with your trackpoint. The pointer isn't moving! It's the same thing what happens in any 3D graphics program! You cannot navigate your camera, unless you use an external mouse!
    Fix:
    Please fix it. Just don't stop the trackpoint pointer when someone clicks the middle button in "None" settings.
    System: Using a W520 for the reference.

    Yes, the latest driver from Synaptics doesn't have this bug. So if you uninstall UltraNav driver from Lenovo and install the latest one from Synaptics, it will work with 3 buttons.
    But the behaviour of the Synaptics is annoying for an other reason: it has no feature to stop the touchpad while you are typing. Normally you'd never notice it with the Lenovo one, but with Synaptics, you'll go crazy with the accidental scrolls and clicks. But at least it works with 3 buttons.
    Lenovo, can you confirm that you understand this bug? Please fix it in one of the future versions!

  • The middle button on ipod is not working.  It's not lighting up and I can't change songs.

    I can't get the middle button on my ipod to work.  It doesn't light up with the selections.  If I connect it to my computer, it will sync but afterwards, it doesn't light up unless you connect it in the car or computer.

    Hello Lola51,
    I would be concerned as well if my iPod was unresponsive.  I found a resource that I think would help in a situation like this.
