richard miller had a change that extended the shift to allow chording
using a two button mouse.  still clumsy but sometimes unavoidable.
i'd still buy a three button mouse.  they aren't expensive.  they work with windows.
the microsoft wheel thing will work as well, if you must.

Hi,

I am not sure about Inferno, but Hosted under Plan9, you should be able to
use the Plan9 workaround of Shift+Right button to simulate a middle button press
of the mouse.

Unfortunately if you want to do mouse chording under acme... well I have never
tried but it would
be difficult if not impossible - a challenge for someone perhaps?  :-)

-Steve
