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....
