Who said anything about hitting two alternate buttons? The middle button activates whatever's under the mouse. You don't have to select it first. I can see Prefs/Customise: [x] Middle Button is ACTIVATE [ ] Middle Button is EXTEND-SELECT [ ] Middle Button is REPEAT-MENU [x] Pull-down menus [ ] Pop-up menus In fact it'd be great to customise *all* the mouse buttons. Left Mid Right Action [x] [ ] [ ] SELECT [ ] [ ] [x] PULL-DOWN MENU [ ] [ ] [ ] POP-UP MENU [ ] [x] [ ] ACTIVATE [ ] [ ] [ ] EXTEND SELECT [ ] [ ] [ ] REPEAT MENU Maybe a CX package could do this?
