+<title>Middle-click</title>
+
+<p>Many mice and some touchpads have a middle mouse button. On a mouse
+with a scroll wheel, you can usually press directly down on the scroll
+wheel to middle-click. If you don't have a middle mouse button, you
+can press the left and right mouse buttons at the same time to
+middle-click.</p>
+
+<p>On touchpads that support multi-finger taps, you can tap with three
+fingers at once to middle-click. You have to
+<link xref="mouse-touchpad-click">enable tap clicking</link> in the
+touchpad settings for this to work.</p>
+
+<p>Many applications use middle-click for advanced click shortcuts.</p>
+
+<list>
+ <item><p>One common shortcut is to paste selected text. (This is sometimes
+ called primary selection paste.) Select the text you want to paste, then go
+ to where you want to paste it and middle-click. The selected text is pasted
+ at the mouse position.</p>
+ <p>Pasting text with your middle mouse button is completely separate
+ from the normal clipboard. Selecting text does not copy it to your
+ clipboard. This quick method of pasting only works with the middle
+ mouse button.</p></item>
+
+ <item><p>On scrollbars and sliders, a regular click in the empty space moves
+ by a set amount (such as one page) in the direction you clicked. You can also
+ middle-click in the empty space to move to exactly the location you
+ clicked.</p></item>
+
+ <item><p>In the <gui>Activities</gui> overview, you can quickly open a new
+ window for an application in its own new workspace with middle-click. Simply
+ middle-click on the application's icon, either in the dash on the left, or in
+ the applications overview. The applications overview is diplayed using the
+ grid button in the dash.</p></item>
+
+ <item><p>Most web browsers allow you to open links in tabs quickly with the
+ middle mouse button. Just click any link with your middle mouse button, and
+ it will open in a new tab. Be careful clicking the link in the <app>Firefox</app>
+ web browser, though. In <app>Firefox</app>, if you middle-click anywhere except
+ on a link, it will try to load your selected text as a URL, as if you used
+ middle-click to paste it to the location bar and pressed
+ <key>Enter</key>.</p></item>
+
+ <item><p>In the file manager, middle-click serves two roles. If you
+ middle-click a folder, it will open in a new tab. This mimics the
+ behavior of popular web browsers. If you middle-click a file, it
+ will open the file, just as if you had double-clicked.</p></item>
+</list>
+
+<p>Some specialized applications allow you to use the middle mouse
+button for other functions. Search your application's help for
+<em>middle-click</em> or <em>middle mouse button</em>.</p>
