I have MacOS X 10.2.1 but I use a Macally iOptinet mouse which is a similar type of wheel mouse function to yours. I too cannot get my middle button to function. Eg Move. What I have done in the past is to define in the Macally mouse software tha= t middle button is something like ctrl R-button and then in PyMol use cmd.button to change Move to be ctrl-R button. Its OK if you don=B9t want all the mouse functions but a pain nonetheless.

Eg Move. (snip) > Has anyone got real 3 button functioning in PyMOL (OSX)? Hmm... I've been using a 3-button Microsoft USB Intellimouse with PyMOL just fine, and the middle mouse button is fully functional under 10.2.1. I didn't need to do any kind of configuration, it just worked. Thus, I am flummoxed as to why it doesn't work for you as well! 1. Are you using the latest beta version (0.84)? 2. How are you launching PyMOL? 3. Does 'PyMOL' appear in the menu bar? 4. Does an external GUI appear? (The last 2 questions are to insure that PyMOL is getting properly initialized). Since I can't reproduce the problem, it's going to be tough for me to solve it. Does anyone else have an idea what might be causing this problem? How widespread is the lack of middle-button function on a Mac? Cheers, Warren |

I am using the 0.84 version, launching by clicking an alias of the 10.2 application icon in the dock. Pymol does appear in the menu bar, and I have both GUI (PyMOL) and viewer (PyMOL Viewer) windows. The mouse is a 5 button (counting the wheel button) Intellimouse Explorer 3.0 USB mouse, with current intellipoint software for OS10. I have discovered the following: 1. Program specific settings chosen for PyMol 10.2 are ignored - Global settings trump. 2. Program specific settings chosen instead for PyMOL (NOT the application icons designated by 10.1 or 10.2) are recognized. 3. Programming the wheel button as "click" or "secondary click" correctly reproduces the behavior of the left or right buttons, respectively. 4. Programming the wheel button as "control+click" or "control+secondary click" etc works as expected for all combinations in the viewer window that apply to L or R buttons. 5. Nothing I have tried will convince the wheel button to behave as a middle button. For example, command+/-option+click or secondary click are ignored; behavior is same as click or secondary click.

Additionally, when I use the X-window version of PyMOL I have the "middle" button set as cmd-click, which is the equivalent of a middle-click. I am using a Kensington 5-button optical mouse. You can program this mouse so that the buttons mean different things for different programs, which is quite useful.

Yes, my Kensington Optical Elite mouse (which actually has five buttons)=20= works fine. The middle button is a scroll wheel which is also=20 clickable. Clicking it does exactly as you expect it should. I'm using=20= OS X 10.1.5 though, not 10.2. My office mate has just got 10.2 however,=20= and she seems to have no problems with the same type of mouse. The only problem I have is that I haven't figured out the command to get=20= back from the secondary set of mouse commands to the main one. If you=20= know what it is you could let me know!
