No middle mouse button? Press in your scroll wheel or click the left+right buttons at the same time

Asked by telman shahbazov

Hi,

I have a Logitech Trackman Marble Mouse without middle button.

In ubuntu 10.04 I used to press left+right buttons at the same time instead of pressing middle button for fast pasting abilitiy
And it worked.

But in 11.10 verison it does not work any more.

Linux telman 3.0.0-16-generic #29-Ubuntu SMP Tue Feb 14 12:49:42 UTC 2012 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

Could you please advice ?

Regards,
Telman

Thank you

I followed the documentation on link

uname -a
Linux telman 3.2.0-29-generic #46-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jul 27 17:03:23 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.peripherals.mouse middle-button-enabled true

this solved the problem.
