    Full-featured trackpad middle button?


    There is a setting to turn three-finger tap/click to act as a middle click. But it's awkwardly castrated which twists my head many years. Ok, I can click - why can't I drag???This makes any use of a CAD software, or even Resolve, anything which needs a basic but proper middle mouse button to work simply impossible without a standalone mouse. THAT. IS. IDIOTIC.As a user with a tunnel syndrome mouse usage hurts my hand I always use trackpad, even working with CAD. I always had such option on basic Synaptics trackpads. And now - I can't. ****? Would this ever be solved finally so we get a PROPE

    :)

    Alternative to Autohotkey to Middle click and drag on a trackpad with Windows 10?

    I have a typical 2017 Ultrabook, the Yoga 910. It has a trackpad with no separate buttons; bottom left portion of the trackpad is left click, bottom right is right click. There is no region of the trackpad for middle click.

    This is a "precision" trackpad, so I have the native windows 10 menu for defining 2-, 3-, and 4-finger gestures. In this menu, you can define 3-finger click as being a middle mouse button click.

    The problem is, I use my laptop for 3D modeling and physics simulation, and those programs (like Solidworks) make extensive use of middle-click+drag to perform critical functions. That behavior can be changed in Solidworks specifically, but not other software.

    I know of Autohotkey but it does not seem that reliable; I also use my laptop in suburban trains where you can't always have a flat surface to put a usb mouse on, so USB mouse is not a complete solution either.

    So, is there an alternative to autohotkey to emulate middle click + drag reliably in windows 10 with precision trackpads? Some 3rd party app that would replace and extend the windows 10 trackpad menu, perhaps?

    As a side note, an absence of alternative here would be the single reason that might force me into buying a heavy Thinkpad P51 over a lightweight and powerful Gigabyte Aero 15X. Just, because of that missing middle mouse trackpad button. Ultrabook/Workstation manufacturers that are targeting an engineering customer base, please, dwell on that. Those trackpad buttons are just 1-2 cm3 and a few grams, they will fit, and double the workflow speed when doing 3D stuff in mobility.

    Thanks a lot for your help!

  3. laptop trackpad not working after windows 10 upgrade

    the Toshiba website has no windows 10 listing of drivers for my model p50w-b00f (yet).

    The trackpad on/off button does nothing.

    note: the trackpad does work while booting. the little circle on black screen.

    Mouse Buttons and Trackpad Problems

    My mouse buttons and trackpad stop working randomly. I can move my pointer, but I cannot click or tap anything. Sometimes it only takes a few seconds to work again and other times it doesn't so I have to shut down my computer. I've tried updating my trackpad
    as support suggested, but it didn't work. Also, my computer will randomly right click and I won't even be touching the computer.
