Hi,

i run tigervnc 1.7.0 (32Bit) on MacOS El Capitan. Everything works nice including the VirtualGL. Thanks everybody for providing this nice piece of software!

Unfortunatly I have problem as my application on the remote side expects an "middle-mouse-button" and I found no way to emulate this. Is there

a) a way to emulate the middle-mouse-button on MacOS?

b) If not - any ideas how this could be implemented?

Regards

Friedrich

I don't think there's any built-in way to do this. But there might be
some extra software that emulates the third button. Have you tried
checking the hits you get when you google the issue?

A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?

Hi Pierre,

thanks for your reply. I tried the two apps:

a) MagicPrefs http://magicprefs.com
b) BetterTouchTool https://www.boastr.net

but without luck. Although BetterTouchTool even mentions this Middle Click.
I think it should be similar to the VMWare Setup:

Thanks!

Friedrich
