I found the context-related interpretation of button 3 to be the
nicest thing. Possibly that's because it required less dexterity
(especially on ball mice where pressing a button tended to rock/move
the mouse rather than hold the microswitch), but it's where the
interface just did what I wanted, without having to think about it.
