What were they thinking, putting buttons where just holding the mouse to move it activates them? All the buttons a mouse needs is left/right with the scroll wheel serving as the third button IF you can press the s.o.b. to do a paste without moving the wheel and the curser before the paste is done so your paste ends up NOT where you intended. I'd pay another 10 bucks for a mouse that had a true middle button, taller than the left-right, so one could crook the finger to miss the wheel but still have the MMB effect. Make it small and put it behind the wheel, would make it very intuitive to use in about 30 seconds. And you'd never understand why we are stuck with the crappy mice we can get today.
I would really, Really, REALLY like to disable middle-click (paste) on a program-by-program basis!
I use a Logitech Trackball. (No room on my messy desk for a mouse....)
When in kwrite, or most frustratingly, bluefish, I FAR TOO OFTEN end up with un-realized pastes throughout a document as I scroll up and down.
Ya, then, what would I do in the frequent times when I _do_ want to cut-n-paste? I guess just use the EDIT dropdown -> copy/paste....
