most underrated mouse button
>>52359702
Well I mean comparatively, it's the least useful mouse button (unless you're faggot with 365 buttons on your mouse)
But it's still damn useful.
>>52359722
I said underrated, not the best
>>52359722
It's more useful than right click when browsing the web, especially on 4chan
>>52359750
conceded
I use that to close and or open new tabs when clicking links. A lot quicker than trying to aim on the lil x button

On Plan 9, it may as well be one of the most important buttons.
Remember how Apple ruined UIs forever by shipping their mice with only one button? The only reason the double click even exists is to accommodate their mouse's "simplicity".
>>52359702
It's so annyoing it's integrated with the scroll wheel.

>>52359702
i use the middle mouse button a lot
you can use it to open a new link to a new tab, close tabs, etc.

This meme needs to die
>>52360750
you'll find a lot less of it on reddit, faggot.

No. Do you seriously think that "left click to select, right click to open" would have been a better UI choice?
>buy a cheap mouse on the internet
>turns out it was a great choice, very comfortable
>the only issue is that middle click is kinda hard, but it's ok
fast forward a few months, middle click no longer works, so now I'm used to Ctrl-click for opening in a new tab.
kinda sucks, but I got used to it.
>>52360801
Not him, but yes, oh my God yes.
>>52362336
So what would you have for contextual menu, if right click is open?
>>52362336
you know you can enable one click use in windows? So everything behaves like a hyperlink
>>52359702
It's useful as fuck in 3ds Max and a bunch of other pro applications

>>52362241
lol thanks. I didn't know about the ctrl+click thing.
>>52362499
Middle button.
>>52362499
Middle button, obviously.
>>52362893
I run Linux, but I'm sure I can configure it there as well. I'll have to look into it.
>>52360801
Are there seriously people that don't use "mouseover to select, left click to open"?
I developed some sort ocd that makes me want to middle click random stuff even though I don't actually need to.
Like images, tabs, windows, etc
even though the action may open/close them and I might not want to open/close them
Most underrated keyboard button. Helps when you have trouble right clicking on your laptop.

Using GNU/Linux with no desktop environment and Conkeror as web browser, I can
safely say this is not the case for me. Indeed, I have no use for the right
click button, but middle click opens tabs and pastes my previous text
selection, I might actually use it more than the left click.
>>52364375
I use this as the meta key for my window manager, it's the key I use the most
when not typing text.
I use it always to pan around my drawings in AutoCad. So fucking useful.
that new tab feel when you click, feels good man.
>>52364375
I love the menu key.
The only way to quickly use spelling suggestions without wasting a lot of time.
If you use a CAD program, is the MOST USEFUL button

>mfw it breaks and fucks up everything
>mfw the scroll also fucks up because of this

If you buy a $10 mouse then you shouldn't expect that it will work ten years later
>>52365999
nice trips.
it was a 20$ mouse back then, and i still use it despite being yellow (was white one time) and having both the scroll and the button broken.
>it has like 11 years...
>>52359702
I use it more than the right click when browing the web.
>>52366168
or just copy pasting
>>52359702
I mostly use is as a scroll
>>52366239
you don't use keyboard shortcuts for copy/paste ?
>>52362241
Ctrl click is superior
>>52359702
while surfing its the most used for me, but im a autistic tab whore...
>>52360356
>Ctrl + w
>Ctrl + t

>>52360750
Agreed, reddit needs to die
>>52366672
>not resting your left hand away from the keyboard at all times
