This fork differs from the base fork in some ways
- Configurations: Number of Fingers, Click or Tap
- preferred setting is saved for every user
- Removed old 32-bit/PowerPc `relaunch` binary due to it's incompatibility with macOS 10.15 Catalina and greater. Replaced with inline restarting of the app
- The App will not only restart on waking the Mac, but when a new touch device is added (so it immediately gains middleclicking ability) and when a display is added/reconfigured (for proper click positioning)
Attention! Make sure to:
- Quit an old version of MiddleClick
- Remove it from the privacy settings
- Enable the new version in privacy settings when prompted
The app should be closed when you change the privacy settings, otherwise the Mouse may not be clickable and you may have to killall MiddleClick
via terminal or even force restart the Mac.
