Yoga S1 Trackpoint Middle Button

I am not a fan of the new "clickpad", I'm a long time ThinkPad user so my pointing device of choice is the Trackpoint (eraser). I've set the control panel on this for "Trackpoint Only", and at least the virtual buttons are useable now. HOWEVER... the "middle button" seems to be stuck in only the "scroll" mode. The latest control panel doesn't seem to have an option to set it as "normal middle button" - it is just doing this scrolling thing.
I would like to set the middle click action to a regular "middle click", not scrolling. Anyone know if there is a registry key or some other way to do this, and not the scrolling thing?
Thanks!

Try setting the following registry keys:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Synaptics\SynTP\StickPS2\Gestures
Set this to 0.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Synaptics\SynTPEnh\UltraNavPS2\TrackPointMode
Set this to 0x1211 hex (4625 decimal).

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!

TrackPoint Middle button behavior for SketchUp

When using a wheel mouse with SketchUp, pressing the wheel allows to orbit the drawing. But when I use the trackpoint, pressing the middle button zooms in/out. How can I change the behavior to be like a wheel mouse? I tried changing TP4table.dat, adding the line *,*,SketchUp.exe,*,*,*,WheelStd,0,9 in the 'Pass 0 rules' section, and restarting SynTPEnh, but this didn't cause a change. I also have a ThinkPad USB keyboard with trackpoint. The driver files seem to be under "C:\Program Files\Lenovo\ThinkPad USB Keyboard with TrackPoint", but I can't find TP4table.dat there, so what is the solution for this?

Hi,I just downloaded SketchUp and tried to simulate the behavior.What you see is the normal mouse-wheel function, scrooling up and down. What you want is the middle-click behaviour, orbiting around.I've played around with the tp4table.dat and unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a "disable scrolling but use middle-click" function.The nearest would be*,*,SketchUp.exe,*,*,*,None,0,25but this will disable zooming and orbiting (so no function at all).The 25 is the old flag 9 (3 button trackpoint, and exit function after match) + flag 16 (applying to ibm stick scrolling).Perhaps if Synaptics is asked very polite, they might add a "Middle" or "Button" option. But I wouldn't wait for it, since some other annoying bugs hasn't been solved for years. If you don't want to use the scrolling-function at all, you can switch to middle-click function inside the mouse-driver panel. A workaround would be a middle-mouse simulation hotkey. TPMiddle only supports middle-clicks, not middle drag-drops

Middle button scrolling on TP T400

Hi,
I have a problem for some time. Since I updated kernel from 32.4 to newer version, my trackpoint middle button scrolling stoped working. I configured it trough hal, so this is my mouse-wheel.fdi:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<match key="info.product" string="TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint">
<merge key="input.x11_options.EmulateWheel" type="string">true</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.EmulateWheelButton" type="string">2</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.XAxisMapping" type="string">6 7</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.YAxisMapping" type="string">4 5</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.ZAxsisMapping" type="string">4 5</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.Emulate3Buttons" type="string">true</merge>
</match>
Everything is working fine, except this feature. Does anyone know some solution? I tried to google it, but nothing interesting. Thanks a lot.

Win8 trackpoint third button middle click action

Hello. Using a W530 with Windows 8 and ThinkPad UltraNav driver version 16.2.5.0. Tried uninstalling --> reboot -> reinstall -> reboot. Middle button only does scrolling. In UltraNav (TrackPoint) settings, only option is to adjust stick sensitivity and to enable Press-To-Click. Please advise on how to enable middle button click.
Moderator Note; post moved to here, subject edited for relevancy
Solved!

Yep, just may have to wait for the release of Win8 for officially supported drivers.
Just about a month away.

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.

Vertical scrolling with TrackPoint's middle button won't work on MS Word

Question:
I have a T42 ThinkPad and the vertical scrolling with TrackPoint's middle button won't work on MS Word and therefore not in my email either. Big pain in butt as I'm so used to using it. Are there any patches that fix that? Any ideas on why it won't work?

It's really weird. My suggestion would be that you install the most up-to-date driver by direct downloading or via System Update (if you haven't updated the driver).

X201 trackpoint middle scroll button

I updated the Ulranav driver and now the middle buttn on the trackpoint stopped performing the scroll function. I have tried manipulating settings to no avail. Any solution? Thanks everyone.

Can you try reseating the keyboard connector? Generally, if the keyboar connector is loose and not making proper contact (very rarely happens IMO) there'd be other affected keys.
Could it just be that the middle scroll button is broken? I'm not sure if usual Linux LiveCDs support the TrackPoint middle scroll button out of the box, but you might consider testing with one of those to determine if the fault is hardware or software.

Synaptics unreliable trackpoint middle click bug

I found a software bug for synaptics driver. I am using the latest: 18.0.7.40, 5/26/2014, windows 8.1.
The bug is related to unreliable middle clicking (not to be confused with TpScroll ), when the user middle clicks on the trackpoint, the OS doesn't register it. It is possible this is a settings issue, maybe it's a "feature". If so, can someone provide instructions on how to change it.
It seems the synaptics firmware will only pass a middle click to OS if the pointer moves at the same time. I have not tried this on Linux.
To reproduce errant behavior I (this will NOT register a middle click)
1. make sure middle clicks are enabled in the mouse properties and TpScroll is off
2. make sure you have an application that works with middle click or displays L/M/R click state received by the OS (I am using X-Mouse button control)
3. with finger clear of trackpoint, middle click with thumb
4. OS will NOT register a middle click.
correct behavior should be register a middle click
To reproduce errant behavior II (this will register a middle click)
1. make sure middle clicks are enabled in the mouse properties and TpScroll is off
2. make sure you have an application that works with middle click or displays L/M/R click state received by the OS
3. with index finger on trackpoint, move trackpoint so pointer moves slowly (speed not important), and the middle click with thumb
4. OS WILL register middle click.
correct behavior should be register a middle click
To reproduce errant behavior III (this will cause a continuous middle click, until cursor is moved again)
1. make sure middle clicks are enabled in the mouse properties and TpScroll is off
2. make sure you have an application that works with middle click or displays L/M/R click state received by the OS
3. with index finger on trackpoint, move trackpoint so pointer moves slowly (speed not important), and the middle click with thumb and hold down, lift index finger off trackpoint to stop moving cursor, and let go of button. (Pressing and releasing the middle button has no further effect.)
4. OS WILL register a continuous middle click, never receiving that middle click input changes.
correct behavior should be middle click is released as soon as the physical button has been let go.
Also mouse chords (for example left click and right click at the same time) do not work.

Hello,
I just fixed a similar problem. Like you, I found that my middle button no longer functioned like I was used to when I updated my system.
If you go into the synaptics settings, under UltraNav>Track Point, make sure you select "Neither" in the box labeled "Choose Scrolling or Magnifying Glass Function."
I hope that works for you.

[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

Restoring "Middle Button Click" with the newest Windows UltraNav drivers (X220)

Hi Everyone,
I see that some changes were made to the TrackPoint in the newest UltraNav drivers package -- namely, there are no more customized options for stick scrolling with the TrackPoint. Is there any way to reset the middle button to perform a middle click rather than stick scrolling?
I see that the Registry options are in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Synaptics, but there are so many options! Is there anyone out there who can help me with this?
Thanks in advance!
Side note: I considered the older UltraNav driver, but that doesn't have the Windows 8 charm bar feature. I also considered the latest driver from the Synaptics website, but it doesn't have the "prioritize for trackpoint" option and I feel that the palm rejection is inferior to that provided by the Lenovo one.
Side note #2: My main reason for requesting this is to improve the scrolling experience with my ThinkPad. I've been able to optimize my touchpad scrolling with a modified version of TwoFingerScroll, and really need to do the same with my trackpoint. For the trackpoint in Windows 7, I liked DragToScroll, which I feel provides more sensitive scrolling than the one in the UltraNav driver in most applications.
Solved!

Hi, hendhess
I'm not sure about fixing the issue through the registry, though I did find two threads on this issue that may be able to help you solve the issue. There's this one started by zsero that has some suggestions and the like. There is also this thread which is linked from zsero's. According to some, if every former Synaptics driver is removed and then the new one is installed, the middle-click functionality is restored, though this isn't universal.
Hope it helps,
Adam

Use T440s middle button as a button

Hello,
Does anyone know if there is a way to get the middle trackpoint button to work as a button instead of scrolling? I use software that makes use of the middle button and would like to use it. On older thinkpads there was a way to change the settings, but I don't see it on the T440s. If there is no way to do it, is there a better place than here to advocate for such a function?
Thanks

If you have the correct Synaptics driver installed, it will have the right effect (and the runtime library: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8328).
If you have both on your system and TPMiddle in the startup folder, then try to make a short click on a link in a browser for example - it will work, and open a new Tab. Don´t hold the key pressed down. This will activate scrolling - TPMiddle does not disable scrolling, it only does enable the middle-click.

T510 - Ultranav middle button click + touchpad move for scroll issue

Hi,
I am used from my t500 to click and hold middle button on the Ultranav and move up and down with the touchpad to scroll up and down. However, this does not work on my t510 anymore.
At least it does work sometimes for some seconds in google chrome; but just for some short moments.
The default behaviour is, that when i'm clicking the middle button the scroll symbol in form of a little scrollbar appears. I can then scroll by using the trackpoint, but not by using the touchpad. Using the touchpad has just the effekt, that the symbol disappears.
Sometimes another symbol appears; its the symbol with the arrows pointing in all direktions. Only when this symbol appears i am able to scroll by moving on the touchpad.
Now i am looking for a solution to my problem.
by the way: when i use the trackpoint, the touchpad is locked for some seconds. Is there a way to disable this?
Best Greets, matthias.

There is an option to adjust how many lines the scrolling wheel skips but nothing about auto-scroll.I tested it.
It seems like if I use the Auto-scroll and keep the mouse literally 1 pixel below the circle, it will be barely slow enough for reading long articles but you really have to spend a minute and a magnifier to make sure you put the mouse pointer exactly 1 pixel below the circle, otherwise it gets too fast.I'm NOT exaggerating the 1 pixel part. My screen is 1920x1080.Maybe that makes things worse.
I was hoping to adjust the number of "pixels" the pointer has to travel to increase the speed from 1st to 2nd stage.Basically, to increase the distance you have to move the mouse in order to increase the acceleration.
I'm not sure if anyone here uses 1080p screen.Could you please confirm that it's also 1 pixel for you ?
