Using middle trackpoint button as a middle mouse button?

I just got a T500 to replace my dead R51. One of the things I really liked about my old Thinkpad was that I could use the middle trackpoint button as a third mouse button, which is great for opening links in new tabs in Firefox or copy/pasting in console windows. However as far as I can tell the only options in the mouse configuration are "Scroll", "Zoom", and "Neither", and neither just disables the button entirely. I should mention I'm using Windows Vista. Does anybody know how to fix this?

Nothing?

How do you tell if the first mouse button or the 2nd mouse button is clicke

Hi guys,
I need to figure out if the first mouse button is clicked or the 2nd mouse button is clicked.
it seems that there is a method that is suppose to return an integer value dpeneding on what button is clicked but I printed out what is being returned and it seems it keeps printing out 0 for both the first and second.
Here is my code:
private void initMouse()
 addMouseMotionListener
 new MouseMotionAdapter()
 public void mouseDragged( MouseEvent event )
 System.out.println("event:" + event.getButton());
 if(event.getButton() == MouseEvent.BUTTON2)
 brushColor = Color.LIGHT_GRAY;
 System.out.println("Button 2 pressed");
 else
 // System.out.println("nope");
 xvalue = event.getX();
 yvalue = event.getY();
 repaint();
 }Even when I compare to the constants event.MOUSEBUTTON1 its never true nor is MOUSEBUTTON2, what am i doing wrong here?
THanks

there are a number of ways, here's one of them
SwingUtilities.isRightMouseButton(event)//<---'event' is from your code)

How can I disable the mouse button 4 and 5 "forward" and "back" functions through firefox?

I've seen this problem come up on forums before but was unable to find a good solution.
When using Ventrilo, I have my speak button bound to the mouse button 4 of my logitech mouse. This button is conveniently placed for gaming because it makes use of my otherwise unused right thumb, and I have been using it for years and probably couldn't adjust if i tried to change it.
Firefox uses mouse button 4 for the "back" function, meaning that if i'm on ventrilo while browsing the web with firefox, i have to remember to move the cursor to the menu bar at the bottom of my screen or go back a page. it's infuriating if i forgot, especially if i'm playing some sort of browser game at the time, as i basically have to restart whatever i'm doing.
The only solutions i've found for this involve binding mouse button 4 to some other (rarely used) key, which is an annoying solution at best, or changing some vital computer files, which I dont have the expertise to do myself and dont trust anyone else to do for me. It's an absolutely unacceptable solution anyway: why should i have to change my computer's files to disable a function which should be editable through firefox?
does anyone know how this can be fixed? or know how we can get mozilla to put this feature into some future patch, as other people have been asking them to do for YEARS?

This can be a highly frustrating problem. I just spent 45 minutes working on an email. Nearing the end I go to grab my mouse after typing and accidentally hit mouse 4 and lose everything. This isn't the first time I have lost work or an email. I would say the ONLY reason why there currently lacks a strong feedback against this is because the majority of people do not have mouse 4+5 buttons on their mice. Please add the option to just disable this "feature". It's just far to easy to accidentally hit these buttons accidentally and potentially lose a lot. I don't know anyone who actually uses these buttons anyways.

Evdev kills X with mouse buttons

Hi
I'm new to Arch so please have some patience.
I have a Logitech MX3100 mouse/kbd combo (MX1000 mouse), connected via usb
I just installed Arch yesterday and to get all my mouse buttons working I tried to use evdev, now the problem is if I use evdev, X crash instantly with any mouse button click other than button1. If I don't specify the event (as documented in the wiki) the mouse doesn't work at all.

Hi Eradest,
I guess there is some confusion since it's a mouse/kbd combo, it creates 2 events, one for the keyboard og 1 for the mouse, and the tricky part is that the one for the mouse also features some extra keyboard keys.
I tried your suggestion, but still same result, if I don't specify event, then the mouse doesn't work.
If I comment out both mouse and keyboard X autodetect it and use evdev for both it seems, however then I have the problem that X crash when I click any other mouse button than button1
I've also tried using the default keyboard setting and let X autodetect it, but it makes no difference.

Mouse button 4 conflict or virus problem horrifying me.

I have a mouse button 4 problem which occurred a week ago on my first Imac which I returned to the Apple Store for another Imac. However the same thing happened on the second Imac where everything including the USB extension cable was completely replaced and absolute no parts of the computers were the same. The problem happened on the two different Imacs where in the first case on the first computer expose which was assigned to the Mouse button 4 kept turning on and off by itself as I merely rolled the mouse back and forth and where in the second case on the second computer dashboard which was assigned to the Mouse button 4 kept turning on and off by itself as I again rolled the mouse back and forth. In both cases, in completely different computers, fluky things started to happen, all beginning with the same Mouse button 4 and the function assigned to it.
Today, a week later, it happened again but did not start a cycle once I clicked the Mouse button 4 again. In the other two cases, the continued appearance and disappearance of the Mouse button 4 function apparently caused the mouse to become so confused and crazy that merely by pointing at a menu item like File or Edit or View, the drop down menus came down all by themselves without pressing the left side of the mouse! In both computers, first with expose turning on and off and then with dashboard doing the same, it became very difficult to carry out the technician's instructions to click the blue apple, click system preferences, go to mouse and keyboard, etc.
I informed the technician at Apple Procare when this happened on the second new computer that the left and right mouse buttons seemed to be self-actuating and clicking by themselves without me touching them. He had me shut down the computer, unplug all wires from the USB ports including the power cord and hold down four keys at the same time while rebooting to reassign the devices to the USB card ports presumably.
The genius at the apple store told me that there was never anything wrong with either my first or second Imac and that there was some other factor responsible for the strange goings on like my two peripherals a Canon N676U scanner or my new HP laserJet 1022 printer in the way of a conflict with the mouse control especially most notably mouse button 4 actuating without pressing it at its own whim!
Up till the time that I talked to the genius, I had theories of my own. I did a virus check with two separate trial versions of anti-virus software for Mac, I erased and installed Tiger in each computer after each identical occurrence and finally even erased and installed Leopard which I bought. My theory was that my backup disks from my PC were hosting a Mac virus which I may have caught on my backup disks because a friend of mine with a Mac goes all over the web into dangerous and exotic sites. She once gave me a Trojan virus in a download of some music which apparently was hosted on her Mac and transferred over with the download of music as a strange setup.exe file.
I used the antivirus to scan all my backup disks from my PC which I introduced into both my first and second Imac. No infections.
I changed the USB extension cable, not trusting the one I got from the apple store nor did I trust the replacement one I got from them with the new machine. I used a Radio Shack cord instead which fits more snuggly.
I called Hewlett-Packaged and Canon to find out if there were any known issues of conflict between control of the mouse and the drivers of either my printer or scanner.
It seems like in both computers only the mouse button 4 was affected and by my turning it on and off, on and off, on and off, the USB card lost control of the other buttons of the mouse so that the technician had to reset each of the computers during their separate occurrences of the same exact "bug".
I went into safe mode but I don't know what that proved by shutting off the drivers of the printer and scanner. Right now I have the scanner driver and printer driver totally uninstalled and am monitoring the IMac for the odd behavior without the peripherals attached. What I don't know is if the problem if there is some conflict between my printer driver or scanner driver and the Mouse is confined to the Mouse button 4 which constipates the rest of the button by turning on and off repeatedly while rolling the mouse back and forth...or if the conflict if that is the problem really affects more buttons than just the mouse button 4 where Mouse button is the most obvious sign because it starts up expose or Dashboard (which ever program is assigned to it in the mouse and keyboard settings).
If there really is any important conflicts, if they are confined to mouse button 4, should I merely turn off that button in mouse and keyboard settings in system preferences and run dashboard and the nifty widgets from the taskbar or from mouse button 3 even, and disable the crazy mouse button 4. This will only work if the conflict or whatever it is, is confined to only mouse button 4.
I don't know yet whether the constant actuation of Mouse button 4 clogs up the use of the other buttons which apparently become self-actuating with a mind of their own, or whether the possible so-called conflict if it exists and is the cause is really affecting more than one button. What supports my belief that it is a one button problem is that I substituted a logitech mouse which doesn't even have Mouse Button 4, and the problem haunting the technician and me moments before plugging in the different mouse disappeared! Before putting in the logitech and at the height of the problem the pull down file, edit, view menus dropped down by merely pointing at the label without even pressing the left button on the mighty mouse! At this point the left clicking was self-actuating!
I either need to disable mouse button 4 so it doesn't clog the USB Card port for the mouse or use another mouse.
I need to know if my theory of an overloading of the mouse is feasible? Or must I isolate the offending printer or scanner which I am presently doing by uninstalling them all if it is really even caused by one of them would need to be replaced with a compatible new peripheral. Expensive!
If my scanner or printer is incompatible which I am not sure I know how to test for which is the real cause of the problem. If you think that my theory is right-on about Mouse button 4 clogging up the rest of the buttons then it would be better to just turn it off or use another mouse or an older Apple Mouse than uninstalling each peripheral one by one and troubleshooting until next summer. Hope to hear from you guys. I really need help. Note: every aspect of my Imac purchase during these events have been replaced and replace again. I have had 3 separate apple mighty mice, 3 USB extension cable replacements, and two Imac in the time since October 12th when it started. I have called tech support until it is coming out of my ears. Now I am relying on you all. Oh, I have erased and reinstalled every operating system twice to make sure it was not a corruption in the OS in each computer.
Sincerely,
Stephen Borisoff

James,
Sorry I am so lengthy. The problem is that with the technical support guy on line, when the Mouse button 4 event occurred I described to the tech that I was pushing and pulling the mouse from the back end to avoid touching the buttons on the side and every time I rolled the mouse a few inches forward the dashboard assigned to mouse button 4 appeared and next when I rolled it back the dashboard disappeared, I rolled it forward and it reappeared and so on. Then the tech wanted me to click on the apple and go into system preferences and as my cursor touched the file menu to get to the preferences that menu dropped without me left clicking the mouse. As I passed over edit and view they just dropped down.
What do you make of that? I am presently running OSX leopard without my printer and scanner installed. If I see no problem in two days, I will plug in the printer and install it. Then after that the scanner and see if the problem happens. I will follow your suggestions about relearning the mouse though.
Stephen

Identify left and right mouse button clicks?

I am wondering how is it possible to identify left mouse button click and right mouse button click using Java rather than just identify a mouse click.
Kumar

I'm not sure if this is what you mean, but you can use MouseEvent's getButton() function.
For example
class MyListener implements MouseListener
    public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e)
        int btn = e.getButton();
        //btn = 1 (left button), btn=2 (right button) for 2 button mouse and so on...
}

Left mouse button not working and can't access hidden dock

This is really weird and just started happening in the past few week or so. My mouse pointer moves and I'm able to select menus and pull down menus with the right button but the left button does not do anything. Also, I have my dock hidden. When I move the mouse pointer towards the bottom of the screen the dock does not appear.
If I reset the Mac Mini everything goes back to normal again until the next time it happens. I have tried swapping to different mouse and the same thing happens. The weird thing is that if I connect to my MacMini from another computer using Remote Desktop (Screen Sharing) the right mouse buttons function properly from the remote Mac. This allows me to properly restart the MacMini. Does anyone have any ideas?

Hi Aleric,
At this point I think you should get Applejack...
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/19596
After installing, Reboot holding down CMD+s, (+s), then when the DOS like prompt shows, type in...
applejack AUTO
Then let it do all 5 of it's things.
The 5 things it does are...
Correct any Disk problems.
Repair Permissions.
Clear out Cache Files.
Repair/check several plist files.
Dump the VM files for a fresh start.
At least if it doesn't fix it, it'll eliminate a few questions.

Lenovo Thinkpad Compact USB Keyboard with Trackpoint: Middle mouse button and scrolling

I got this keyboard (KU-1255).
Unfortunately, it generates bogus mouse button events if I click the middle mouse button and use the trackpoint:
With "thinkpad scrolling mode" disabled, the middle mouse button is released as soon as I move the trackpoint while still pressing the button!
Expected behaviour: The middle mouse button is pressed, the event created. Moving the trackpoint moves the cursor normally. Releasing the middle button creates a corresponding event.
With "thinkpad scrolling mode" enabled, the button is registered as pressed, then scrolling occurs as I move the trackpoint and the button is released if I release it.
Expected behaviour: No middle mouse button event is registered if I move the trackpoint. Pressing and releasing the middle mouse button is only registered if I click the button without moving the trackpoint.
When will there be a firmware update available for the keyboard, like for the SK-8855?
Since I am also using Linux, I would be really interested in fixing this in the firmware, not only getting a new Windows driver.

Help please.

I used to be able to open links in a new tab by clicking my middle mouse button, but now that I've updated it to the most recent update it doesn't work anymore. How do I fix this? I really love that feature. It works in IE and Chrome but not Mozilla.

Ok, I used to be able to open links up in a new Tab using my middle mouse button. However, I updated firefox with the automatic Updates on the 26th of October and now I no longer can open links with my middle mouse button. Why? I use this feature just about every time I go searching on the internet so I really would like it back. I couldn't find anything that it was related to in the options so I turn this over to you guys.

Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode?

Why is it that sometimes when I use my middle mouse button to click on a link to open it in a new tab I will have it open it in an entirely new instance of Firefox instead of a new tab?

Occasionally when I click on a link with my middle mouse button, instead of opening the page in a new tab, it will open a new instance of Firefox.
I've looked through some of the settings and I wasn't able to find anything. It really gets to be bothersome at times because I prefer things to be in tabs instead of a new browser.

It's not specific sites. I can middle-click on the same link 50 times and it will open it in a new tab 45 times and 5 of those times, it will randomly open it in an entirely new window. I don't know what's causing this.
It happens so randomly that I don't know how to pin-point what it could be.

Middle mouse button doesn't work in Firefox

On my Lenovo Thinkpad the middle mouse button, that scrolls a web page up and down, doesn't work in Firefox only. In all other programs (including IE) the scroll function of the trackpoint middle button works fine, but in Firefox not at all. One solution described at Firefox is to edit a pref for a "ui.trackpoint_hackenabled" parameter, and I did change that value to 1, and restarted Firefox, but NO luck.
I'm using 4.0.1.

Nobody got any insights?

Disable middle mouse button paste, but keep other functions

Hello everybody,
I am proud to own a Thinkpad USB-Keyboard with a TrackPoint, attachted to a UltraBase with a x201 on it. But this keyboard has a little problem. When I want to scroll with the middle button and the TrackPoint it first pastes the content of the Clipboard and for example in firefox another page is loaded if there was a link in the clipboard. This does not happen on the Keyboard of the laptop, but only on the USB-Keyboard. And because I don't use the paste-feature anyway I tried to remove it by remapping the mouse buttons in .Xmodmap like this:
"pointer = 1 2 3 4 ~"
to
"pointer = 1 0 3 4 ~",
but this only kept the scrolling function and disabled not only the pasting, but also the other functions like closing tabs.
I would like to ask you how it is possible to disable the middle mouse-button-paste-feature but to keep all the other middle-mouse-button related functions, like closing tab, open hyperlinks in new tabs and of course scrolling with the TrackPoint.
It would also be great if someone knows a solution for the misbehavior of the Thinkpad USB-Keyboard.
Thank you very much

How do I change what the middle mouse button/wheel does?

I feel like an idiot asking this, but I can't figure this out...
I've plugged in a bog standard 2 button + scroll wheel third button mouse, but I can't get the middle mouse button/wheel to behave like it would in Windows. If I click it, it changes programs, hold it it brings up the task switcher thing. It's like I'm pressing command + tab.
I want it to work normally, where the program I'm using the middle button responds, not the OS. Like in Firefox, I want to be able to close tabs with the middle mouse button, and open new links with it...instead all it can do is switch programs.
Is there a way to do this? Am I missing something obvious?

Err...I don't know what happened, but I rebooted and now it's working like normal (knock on wood!). Noooo idea how it ended up in that state!

How can I get the middle mouse button to work with the toolbar button?

Yesterday firefox stopped responding to middle-mouse clicks made in the bookmarks toolbar. Middle mouse buttons still work in web pages.

Auto-scoll (middle mouse button) gone/not working in Firefox 20/Windows 7 64-bit?

duplicate of [/questions/956896]
I recently upgraded both my work PC and my home PC to Firefox 20.0.1. My work PC (Win XP 32-bit) works fine, but my home PC (Win 7 64-bit) no longer allows me to auto-scroll when I click the middle mouse button (it does nothing). I have tried restarting Firefox with all addons disabled, as well as a totally fresh install, but haven't had any luck. To clarify, the mouse wheel itself still works as it should, it's just clicking it in to auto-scroll that's the problem.
Has anyone else experienced this?
##EDIT##
Please delete this (double post)

Did you check the setting?
*Tools > Options > Advanced > General: Browsing: "Use autoscrolling"
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
