hi,
i cannot find a plan9port maillist, so i am asking here.
anyone using plan9port on osx? if so which mouse are you using? i am fighting with a magic mouse2 which, with the addition of the magicperfs app can do both scrolling and 3 buttons.
sadly the middle button support is buggy an often misfires.
anyone found better software, or do i have just go back to traditional mouse?
-Steve

I use plan9port on MacOS at work daily (acme is my IDE). I have a use a
Logitech trackball, which has three buttons. I'm not sure where my magic
mouse landed after I though it.
; man 1 acme
``Simulated buttons
For systems without a three-button mouse, the keyboard modi-
fier keys can be used to modify the effect of the main mouse
button. On Unix systems, the Control key changes the main
button to button 2, and the Alt key changes it to button 3.
On Mac systems, the Option key changes the main button to
button 2, and the Command key changes it to button 3.
Pressing the key after the button is held down adds the but-
ton to form a chord, so that for example on Macs selecting
text with the trackpad button and then typing Option without
letting go of the button will cause a 1-2 chord, cutting the
selection. On Mac systems, the usual keyboard shortcuts
Command-C, -V, -X, and -Z invoke copy, paste, cut, and undo,
and Command-Shift-Z invokes redo, as in other programs.
Especially on Mac laptops, these keyboard shortcuts are typ-
ically much less awkward than the equivalent chords.
''
Should be helpful. I use that quite a bit, simply because using the
additional buttons seems to be along with the rest of the MacOS apps I have to use.

I am running plan9port on my mac. I used to use acme with the
https://codereview.appspot.com/6115053 patch for the trackpad on my
laptop, but at some point that stopped working. I didn't care to dig
into it at the time and switched to using the Alt/Cmd button
modifiers. Currently since I'm not traveling much I'm using the
Evoluent VM4RB VerticalMouse, which has 3+ buttons.

since commit 9af9ceca, the metal backend has (undocumented),
Allow touch events to simulate mouse clicks:
three finger tap for the middle mouse button;
four finger tap for the 2-1 chord.
In addition Ctrl/Alt/Cmd works as 1/2/3 button, so you can invoke 2-1 chord by pressing Alt and then Ctrl with your left thumb, while right thumb pressed on the trackpad.

Yeah me too, with regards to an eBay bid for an Contour mouse! Hope I win in the next few days.
Devilishly stricking design, I could only find an large, right-handed model.. would have preferred a medium, right-handed but who cares as it seems to be a lovely mouse and a huge upgrade on my sloppy to-small boring £7 maplin own brand mouse but has lasted me years with no problems yet :D
Awesome mention Aram & Jeremy :D

Clicking on the link tells me I don't have access to the group.
I reported something directly to Russ a few days ago, but didn't
hear back...
Thanks,

I'm not sure what's happening. I've tried this ^ again in incognito
mode and it was (probably) the same error page Arnold reported. After
several browser restarts and checks later sometimes the result is the
topic list as expected, but sometimes it's the error page.

Sure, but it's not a reason for either of these links to respond - at
least for me -inconsistently.
(Or at least until recently this was not the norm on google groups,
though maybe things have deteriorated more.)
Yes, this is off topic.
