Tricks & Tips - Zak410 - 19-02-2020

Sorry if obvious to some but, on a desktop, when browsing, clicking with the middle button of the mouse opens a new tab.
Same happens when clicking simultaneously left & right during a search, on a laptop.

I use the middle click all the time in my browser, its a great feature! Smile

Interestingly it doesn't on my setup. My cursor changes to a little circle with two arrows, and moving the mouse scrolls up or down the page. I wonder if it's a function of my Logitech gaming mouse software, or a Windows setting?

Mine does the same but only if you center click NOT on a link. 
Center click on a link opens new tab.

Ahh.. of course. Duh. Brain isn't working great after a string of 14+ hours days.

On Linux, highlight a text to copy and middle click to paste.
