Where's the middle mouse button or scroll wheel on my Mac laptop?

Can't even find an alternative.

Nice try...

Please try to be more concise when formulating the title for an issue.

This software requires a mouse and (optionally but highly reccommended) a drawing tablet. It's probably possible to make it work with a touchpad only but i don't see how that's usable or enjoyable in the long run.

Using Duet with the iPad as a drawing tablet with Mac OS X M2 laptop lets us use the pencil.

However, the pencil doesn't have middle or right buttons. Using ctrl/cmd/alt with the pencil would let that work. Right now, it's not possible to pan or zoom at all on a laptop without an external mouse (or one using a trackpad) even though there's a pen.

It's an exceptional program otherwise. It handles the pressure through the iPad with Duet perfectly, and is immediately responsive in ways that most aren't.

This is an enhancement, and not a bug. As best I can tell, it's not the software's fault Apple doesn't like buttons.
