Mouse buttons

• unix uses a 3-button mouse. If your computer doesn't have 3 buttons, you need to emulate.

  Emulate	X11.app of Mac OS-X with 1 button mouse	Cygwin/X with 2 button mouse
  left button	click	left click
  middle button	Option key + click	right click
  right button	Command (Apple) key + click	click both button simultaneously

• If the above doesn't work, check settings:
  • X11.app (Mac OS-X)

    Under the menu ``X11->Preferences...'', make sure ``Emulate three button mouse'' option is checked.

  • Cygwin/X

    Check a file
    C:cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin\startxwin.bat
    and find a line which looks similar to

    %RUN% Xwin -multiwindow -clipboard -silent-dup-error
        

    Use a text editor (e.g. NotePad), and add an option ( -emulate3buttons 100), so it should look like:

    %RUN% Xwin -multiwindow -clipboard -silent-dup-error -emulate3buttons 100
