    Including middle name in People app?

    I managed to transfer my Windows Live Mail contacts to the Windows People App by importing them into Outlook web mail, and synchronising with the People App. However, I cannot get middle names to show.

    I am using the Middle Name field in Outlook to store connectives like 'de', as in 'Moses de Leon'. In the Outlook web interface, this is listed as 'Moses de Leon' or 'Leon, Moses de', depending on display preferences, which is correct.

    After synchronisation, Windows People app lists the name as 'Moses Leon', or 'Leon Moses', in the index list. The full people record does not show a Middle name field, although it lists the Name field correctly as 'Moses de Leon'.

    One workaround is to add the connective after the first names, which is not very elegant, as the connective has nothing to do with the first name.

    Is there a more elegant solution to make the People app handle middle names correctly?

  3. Mousekeys: any way to change "both click" to "middle click"?

    Hi,

    I've got nerve issues in my hands that mean that it's very painful to use a normal mouse. So I was trying to use the Accessibility Mousekeys setting to use my keyboard instead.

    At work I use Linux, and Mousekeys just works. I have access to all three of left, middle and right click.

    At home, I'm using Windows 10. The three click options however are left, "both left+right", and right click. There is no middle click - which I use frequently and very sorely miss!

    I have two questions:

    • Is there a setting somewhere where I can turn on the equivalent of "emulate middle-click with both-click" for Windows Accessibility Mousekeys? (i.e. it's not a touchpad, it's the accessibility settings that allow you to use the numberpad of ANY keyboard).
      Or is there any other way I can get a middle-click action (e.g. Something like shift+left-click is middle-click).
    • Under what circumstances is "both-click" ever useful/usable? Why does Mousekeys in Windows do something that as far as I am aware of is useless instead of providing the middle-click that other OSs do?

    nokia 2700 bluetooth key sequence (broken display).

    Did you have your menu in the grid layout? In that case the set of instructions don't work as they only apply to the list mode. If this is the case, you can quickly change it to the list mode:



    • Press the middle button to get to the main menu, press options (button on top of the green phone icon), then the middle button, once up and then the middle button again. The menu should be in list mode now.
    • Press the red phone button to exit the the menu (as there is no way to tell what is selected)
    Just follow the previous instructions after this.



    Hope this helps,
