Is there a way to middle click with this method? I use that often for new tabs and ThinkPads have the physical button at the top and tap to click is just three fingers.



If it's only for open in new tab, then Ctrl+Left Click work as well when using trackpad.


Middle click is very useful to close tab, which the alternative is to move cursor to a much smaller close button.

Especially on some apps (iirc pgadmin) where the tabs has no close button, that we need to right click and choose a menu to close a tab.


Pasting from the primary buffer is surely the main use case for middle click?
