Innovative Middle Click On Your Laptop Touchpad

There used to be a middle button on old mouses but later the idea was dropped by most of the companies. Laptop makers never thought about the idea of middle click functionality on touchpads but Ryan of cybernet news was smart enough to search for a AutoHotKey script which enables middle click functionality. All you need to do is to click both mouse buttons simultaneously and that emulates a middle click.

The script is only two lines of code:

~LButton & RButton::MouseClick, Middle
~RButton & LButton::MouseClick, Middle

The only downside on which Ryan could not work was if you are using Rock Mouse Gesture than it will stop working once you install this script. Now it is totally up to you to install such a script.

One can use the middle click button for special actions like close a tab with a middle click, middle click on a hyper link to open that in new tab or any other kind of function. This depends on your genius.

Many mouse software let you setup a zone where if you click than it is equivalent to a middle click. See your touchpad’s properties for such an option.
