3-finger click also triggers left click on Ventura 13.0

[renakdup]

Hi, I tried to use this tool (latest version), but I noticed that in chrome when I tried to use middle click (3 fingers), I also clicked on link (as left click). It turns out, that I have 2 actions in one action (left click + middle click). Thanks

I've just noticed that it works well with 4 fingers after when I set it in a console defaults write com.rouge41.middleClick fingers 4. Are there some ideas why it doesn't work well with 3 fingers?

@renakdup can you reproduce it on every site? Could you provide a link to the site with such issue? I opened Chrome, went to google.com, searched for MiddleClick and all the links on the search-result page worked fine. I use 3-finger click btw.

@renakdup does https://github.com/artginzburg/MiddleClick-Ventura/issues/17#issuecomment-1371369266 look like what you're experiencing?

I have a similar issue, usually, I use triple tap to open a link on a new tab, but I have a problem when I triple tap a link I have 2 actions too, it opens a link on a new tab but also clicks a link on the current tab

I have a similar issue, but that 3 finger click triggers the right mouse click. I'm using a Mac M1 Ventura 13.1 I have a secondary click configured to "Click with two fingers". @artginzburg

Hi! Thanks for this project :)

Same for me, if I disable "Click with two fingers" in MacOS settings, it works with 3 fingers. With "Click with two fingers" enabled, and MiddleClick configured with 4 fingers it also works.

I guess a fix would be to disable secondary clicks with 3 fingers in Mac OS 🤷

I see the same issue. It’s hard to reproduce reliably, alas. :(

the same issue on Ventura 13.2.1

I'm seeing the same on Sonoma 1.1

Otherwise such an excellent app!

i'm also getting right click along when three finger clicking on an M3 macbook. On my intel one it works fine

It appears that the two workaround options are, in System Settings > Trackpad:

1. Turn off Secondary click
2. Turn off Tap to click

Just trying to understand, with these options, you either lose tap to click, 2-finger "right click" tap, don't you?

i figured another workaround which keeps tap to click & 2 finger right click.

• set "look up & data detectors" to "tap with three fingers"

it prevents the left click from registering but as a downside sometimes the 'Look up' popup may open and close. tested on M1 mac

edit: this also works with three finger dragging enabled. I have all 3 options enabled in my trackpad config

Disabling Three finger dragging in accessibility -> pointer control -> trackpad options fixed it for me.

BetterTouchTools has a warning regarding this option when adding a triple click action. Maybe adding the same warning to the README, or an app itself would be helpful. (If there's no way to make it work with the option enabled)

I'm on Sonoma 14.5

This workaround also worked for me, on Ventura 13.6.6. Ideally, it should be possible to use three finger dragging and three finger tap/click as middle click. Despite what the original post suggests, this isn't exclusive to Chrome. Firefox also suffers from this bug/limitation.

edit: for those who also used three finger dragging, the alternative is to use the other two dragging style alternatives (With Drag Lock , Without Drag Lock) This Apple Community thread explains how both alternatives work. Imo it's a good replacement for dragging while keeping MiddleClick working on browsers' hyperlinks.
