an advantage three-button-mouse-users have over two-button-mouse-users is their ability to close
tabs in
firefox with the middle button. (middle-click a tab. go ahead, i dare y--not this one!) an advantage
linux users have over windows users is their ability to paste any selected text into the current text field with the middle button.
you see the disconnect? been driving me slowly nuts. in linux, instead of closing the tab, a middle-click tries to load any selected text. it's been one of my two windows perks (the other, of course, being
starcraft). tonight, i finally broke down, and found a solution:
- go to about:config
- type 'middle' into the nifty search box
- double-click the "middlemouse.content.LoadURL" line
yes, i know this was just absolutely not worth a whole blog post. lemme alone.
