<p>Many mice and some touchpads have a middle mouse button. On a mouse
26
with a scroll wheel, you can usually press directly down on the scroll
27
wheel to middle-click. If you don't have a middle mouse button, you
28
can press the left and right mouse buttons at the same time to
31
<p>On touchpads that support multi-finger taps, you can tap with three
32
fingers at once to middle-click. You have to
33
<link xref="mouse-touchpad-click">enable tap clicking</link> in the
34
touchpad settings for this to work.</p>
36
<p>Many applications use middle-click for advanced click shortcuts.</p>
39
<item><p>One common shortcut is to paste selected text. (This is sometimes
40
called primary selection paste.) Select the text you want to paste, then go
41
to where you want to paste it and middle-click. The selected text is pasted
42
at the mouse position.</p>
43
<p>Pasting text with your middle mouse button is completely separate
44
from the normal clipboard. Selecting text does not copy it to your
45
clipboard. This quick method of pasting only works with the middle
46
mouse button.</p></item>
48
<item><p>On scrollbars and sliders, a regular click in the empty space moves by a set
49
amount (such as one page) in the direction you clicked. You can also middle-click in
50
the empty space to move to exactly the location you clicked.</p></item>
52
<item><p>In the <gui>Activities</gui> overview, you can quickly open a new
53
window for an application in its own new workspace with middle-click. Simply
54
middle-click on the application's icon, either in the dash on the left, or in
55
the applications overview.</p></item>
57
<item><p>Most web browsers allow you to open links in tabs quickly with the
58
middle mouse button. Just click any link with your middle mouse button, and
59
it will open in a new tab. Be careful clicking the link in the <app>Firefox</app>
60
web browser, though. In <app>Firefox</app>, if you middle-click anywhere except
61
on a link, it will try to load your selected text as a URL, as if you used
62
middle-click to paste it to the location bar and pressed <key>Enter</key>.</p></item>
64
<item><p>In the file manager, middle-click serves two roles. If you
65
middle-click a folder, it will open in a new tab. This mimics the
66
behavior of popular web browsers. If you middle-click a file, it
67
will open the file, just as if you had double-clicked.</p></item>
70
<p>Some specialized applications allow you to use the middle mouse
71
button for other functions. Search your application's help for
72
<em>middle-click</em> or <em>middle mouse button</em>.</p>
