If i try to uninstall , i see a message tha app is still running and can't be uninstalled. To uninstall app I have to go to accessibility permission and turn off.
In my macbook intel cpu it's working with no issues

Hi

I have middle configured as follows

Often times when I close my laptop and login again, Middle doesn't work anymore. My feeling is that this does not happen every single time. But enough to be quite annoying. When I go into Middle -> About -> Debug -> Relaunch it works absolutely fine again.

Best,

Was using three finger tap to close tabs in browsers... one day it just stopped working. i've since tried other options, 4 finger, force click... but none of them are working anymore.

i'm on version 1.8

Three Finger Click on the trackpad will sometimes stop working for no obvious reason. Then, sometime later, it will resume working; again, for no obvious reason.

This has been happening to me several times a day. Unfortunately, I've been unable to discern any common denominator, so I can't reliably reproduce it. It just seems to happen randomly.

While in this state, the Viewer shows 3 finger contacts as it should but it doesn't flash gray when I click. Whatever app I'm using at the time will treat it like a 2-finger click. Fn-Click always seems to works normally. Also, when I set Middle to use Three Finger Tap or One Finger Force Touch I have yet to see any problems. It seems to be limited to Three Finger Click. I've tried disabling all gestures that use 3 fingers in System Preferences > Trackpad but the problem still happens.

I most often see this while browsing with Firefox 103.0 but it also occurs with Safari 15.6 and other apps. I'm using Middle 1.7.5 (82) on an M1 max MacBook Pro running macOS 12.5.

Coincidentally, after finding this github repository and deciding to submit an issue, the problem started occurring. But by the time I signed into github and clicked on "New issue" it was working normally again. Very sneaky! I'll continue trying to reliably reproduce it; but, as I said, so far it seems completely random.

Fn on macbook pro keyboard does work. The external keyboard is an Logitech K380

This is not trivial to troubleshoot, since there's not really any simple way for me to reproduce it.

So, when this happens, I'll take as much information as I can get.

1. What gestures (Magic Mouse & trackpad) are configured?
2. Is there anything that might appear to trigger this happening?
3. Are you running any other apps that listen to touch data?

If you experience this with the Magic Trackpad, you can switch the app to use Apple's private multitouch framework with this terminal command and an app restart:

defaults write com.knollsoft.Middle usePrivateFramework -bool true

Middle doesn't seem to trigger when the input comes via Universal Control.

Environment

I'm using Middle v1.7.4 on a 2016 15" MBP running Mac OS 12.3.1. I'm happy to provide any additional info.

Demo

The below gif includes the viewer and shows using the built-in trackpad on my MacBook followed by a magic trackpad via another machine using Universal Control. Note the lack of input detection in the second half.

I'm not as well versed as others on this forum, so forgive me, but I just don't understand what could possibly be going wrong. Everything was working fine until I updated to 1.7.4 yesterday, and the trackpad gesture suddenly stopped working. I've uninstalled and re-installed, deactivated and re-activated my license key, and restarted my computer, all to no avail. Why would this be happening? is anyone else experiencing this issue?

Hello,

I'm trying out Middle, and really enjoying the One Finger Force Touch option!

However, in Firefox, this appears to trigger both a Mouse1 and Mouse3 event. eg. If I force touch a link, it will simultaneously open it in the new tab, as well as the current. Other options, such as Three Finger Click, seem to work as expected. I was wondering if this is a known issue, and whether you could look into it.

Middle Version: 1.8.2 (89)
Firefox Version: Nightly 123.0a1 (Build ID: 20240105211306)
Hardware: MacBook Pro 14" (2021)
macOS Version: Sonoma 14.2.1

Thank you!

Just purchased today. When I try and set my options for my magic mouse isn't shown in the preferences panel.

My mouse is connected and I've added Middle to my Accessibility settings.

I followed these instructions without success.

Using M1 Mac, Ventura 13.3.1 (a)

Any idea on how to resolve this?

Hey,

can you please enable middle mouse button with 4 finger click as well?

Whenever I three-finger-tap on either my macbook's internal trackpad or my external magic trackpad, I seem to get two middle-click events. Primarily this manifests as things getting pasted into iTerm2 twice – if I press ⌘-V, it just pastes once, so it's definitely not that the clipboard contents are getting duplicated. This has just started happening since I bought and plugged in the magic trackpad, and if I turn the trackpad off, it stops happening.

If I open the touch viewer and tap both trackpads once so that both of them are visible, three-finger-tapping on one trackpad makes both touch viewers flash. Is that meant to happen?

"Use private framework" doesn't seem to make a difference.

Middle click just pastes 6, not the clipboard contents.

MacBook Air M1
macOS 13.3
Middle app v1.8 (87)

Middle click on trackpad have been working on the previous version of macOS. Today I updates OS to v13.3 and middle click stopped working on trackpad. I've tried any of 4 proposed clicks\taps, none is working for trackpad. By the way, middle click works on magic mouse.

When my M1 Mac wakes from sleep, I often need to quit and restart the app. This happens frequently but inconsistently.

Please let me know if you need any logs or additional info.

Hi, first of all thanks for this app, it helps a lot with the workflow (especially when a windows user comes to work on mac os).
I am a developer and my main IDE is WebStorm. I noticed that middle click works with Jump-to-definition when used with Three Finger Click, but now with Three Finger Tap. A little bit of investigation showed that Tap translates to Option + MiddleClick, while Click does a simple MiddleClick.
Is there a reason to do so? It would be handy to make those two work the same way. Remapping keys in storm works as a workaround, but I would prefer to keep them as they were.
Thanks,
Dan

After enabling three-finger drag (in Accessability), in Safari and in some other applications, with three-finger clicks or taps, it works twice (for example, opens two tabs at a time).

When three-finger drag is turned off, everything works fine.

It would be great to be able to use both functionalities.

Spec: MacBook Pro, M1 Max, macOS 12.5

I tried the demo version of the program my intent was to replace MagicPresf which is no longer supported, unfortunately this solution does not work well in Parallels Desktop environment

Middleclick used to work fine, but in Brave it has a strange behavior. When I clic on a link to open it on a new tab, Brave closes another tab. It seems, but I'm not sure, that has something to do with tab groups. Brave Version 1.47.186 Chromium: 109.0.5414.119 (Official Build) (arm64) MacOS Ventura 13.0.1 (22A400)

I find that the region that middle recognizes as "middle click" is too narrow, and about 50% of the time it thinks I "right clicked". It would be very desirable if this could be user-configured, or at the very least with two options "normal" and "fat fingers". :)

Three finger tap to open the link in a new tab does not work in the Safari Bookmark start page.

I have a new 2023 MBP. I ended up turning off "Force click and haptic feedback" option under Trackpad Settings, because I found that it was too easy to accidentally push too hard and cause that secondary click. Unfortunately, when this happens, it registers as two separate clicks. So for example in the MS Edge Browser, when I use three-finger clicks to close tabs and the secondary/force click happens, it closes 2 tabs instead of one.

Even though I have that force click setting set to OFF, sometimes that secondary click still happens! I don't know if this is a bug with Middle or MacOS. I think in either case, it would be reasonable to request that there be a setting in Middle that allows me to ignore the secondary/force click. In other words, even if that force click does happen, enabling this new setting would prevent that from being treated as yet-another middle mouse button click.

Middle seems to be broken in Ventura - when I middleclick in Chrome for example I now get both a new tab with the link and the current tab goes to the link.

Hey guys,

I have purchased a license after the free trial but I have an issue. Even though the accessibility option is ON, the app still asks "enable Middle.app" and of course it's not working. Is there a way around that I am missing?

Thanks in advance :)

Hi!

I have an M2 MacBook Air, and Middle works fine when 3-finger clicking on the lower half of the trackpad, but does a right-click instead if I try 3-finger clicking on the upper half of the trackpad. I updated to Middle 1.7.9 from one of the other issues posts and that version fixes the issue, and successfully middle-clicks anywhere on the trackpad, but I wanted to mention it as it's own issue just in case this wasn't being tracked.

I can help you with the RO translation

I already bought your trackpad app and planning to have the Rectangle Pro as well, I might need Rectangle license 💯
