How to middle-click with the trackpad?

[rillian]

Hi everyone,

I just got my Pinebook Pro on Friday and have really been enjoying setting it up and playing with it.

One question: How do I activate middle-mouse-button clicks with the trackpad? I use that a lot for unix-style cut-and-paste and to open links in new tabs in Firefox. I got it work once by accident, but I don't know what I did, and haven't been able to repeat the feat.

Is there some trick, or a setting I need to change? I'm using the default Debian-MATE image which came with the laptop.

3-Finger should do middle click. I have found it necessary to full-click the touchpad for the clicks to register.

Thanks! I'm starting to be able to get that to work reliably...

Yes its a bit wonky, sometimes the full-clicking is not needed, but I haven't been able to assemble any rhyme or reason to it.
How is the right click (two finger) behavior for you? I also need to full click the 2-finger right click emulation.

Hey Guys,

What do you mean by full-click ?

The 2 finger tap to click works best of you separate your finger tips by an inch or two (might apply to 3 fingers too)

I think they mean having to actually depress the trackpad for the actual click, instead of tapping.
