OSX, Microsoft Intellipoint Mouse (Explorer Touch) and Acme editor

Doh!

My last post was about trying to get a three-button mouse that works in OSX for the acme editor. I thought I had to use xwindows.

But it turns out, all I had to do was configure the mouse to have OSX handle the middle click. Like so:

On the Microsoft Explorer Touch mouse, you also need to press the middle button more towards the back of the mouse than towards the front to get that middle click to fire.

This is the mouse I am thinking about getting for work, where I do use Linux and so will use i3 and X-Windows, so that work is not all for naught.
