Two Button Mouse and Camera Control

How do I do it like a 3-button?

March 6, 2006 2:26 PM from

Is there an easy way to emulate a 3 button mouse with my 2 button mouse under winxp? This is done all the time under linux by doing a "chord" 3rd button (both buttons pressed at once is equivalent to the 3rd button.) I don't have this option under windows. Anyone know how to do this? Its really a pain trying to manipulate ship building without that 3rd button.

I've also noticed that the middle button only works if the middle button is configured to "default" in the Windows mouse setup. Usually, I set the middle button to double-click instead, but then the camera rotating doesn't work.

I'm not too worried about it, since ALL applications that use the middle button are like that.

Still, if there was an alternate key for the middle mouse button, I could reset my mouse settings...

Pressing the scroll wheel for works for me on my two button mouse to control the camera.
