I'm pretty sure you could set up Windows to do that in a few minutes.

You can set up Mac's one-button mouse to function as two buttons. ;P

I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

No shit sherlock? I never use Macs and I knew holding down one of Ctrl, Alt or Open-Apple would do that. :P

You don't need to set it up, either.

Not that I am aware of ... but I do know Powertoys will let you enable Xmouse.
For those unfamiliar, Xmouse focuses a window if the pointer hovers above it for some timeout (e.g. 250ms).

In any case, that wasn't the point.  The point is, Cntrl+C/Cntrl+V is not terrible...and I wouldn't suspect "Cntrl+Click" is bad either.

You'd need the help of something like autohotkey, but I'm nearly positive it'd be easy to do.

I think Ctrl+Click would be terrible, but I don't use macs enough to say that for sure.

Oh, on Windows it's Right Click = Right Click.
Sucks to be a Mac guy.

"I'm a PC"
"I'm a Mac"
"I can right click."
*Vista Logo*

Let's not forget the original Unix mouse had 3 buttons, while the original Microsoft mouse had 2 buttons :)
The third button on Unix was (and still is) for pasting.
With as much copy/pasting as there is today, I could say how unbearable Windows is for needing to do "Cntrl+C/Cntrl+V" just as you could say "Cntrl+Left click" is unbearable for Mac :P
All you have to do on any Unix system to copy and paste is highlight and middle click where you want to paste.




Yea, but that's not the point or joke I'm making.
One must ask oneself: "do I will trolling to become a universal law?" And then when one realizes "yes, I do will it to be such," one feels completely justified.

Well I do have a tendency to be overly serious. Still, you and Myndfyre can be Windows zealots sometimes :)

I'd rather ctrl+c/v to copy/paste all the time then ctrl+click to be honest. I right click 10x more then I do c/p.

P.S. I hate both OS'. :P

What he's saying is you can set up the Mighty Mouse to be sensitive to the difference between a right click and left click.

I lothe ctrl+c and ctrl+v. Every day I have Personal Finance, which is punching numbers. I hate not being able to highlight and middle click it is so much faster, and once you use it you can't stop!

go buy a 3 button mouse and assign the middle button to paste.

Ew, Windows.

What do you suggest? Mac? How exactly would he get to that screen? Doesn't this operation usually involve right clicking?

Mac's have had right mouse buttons for several years.
Quote from: Camel on June 09, 2009, 04:12:23 PMI'd personally do as Joe suggests

You might be right about that, Joe.
