About:
Middledrag is a macOS utility that enables middle-click and middle-drag functionality using three-finger trackpad gestures. It provides system-level integration to simulate a middle mouse button, enhancing productivity for users who rely on trackpads without external mice.
Key Features:
  • Enables middle-click via three-finger tap
  • Allows middle-drag with three-finger hold and move
  • System-wide integration without app-specific configuration
  • Lightweight background application with minimal resource usage
  • Customizable gesture sensitivity and behavior
Use Cases:
  • Improving workflow in CAD or graphic design software that requires middle-drag
  • Enhancing web browsing with middle-click to open links in new tabs
  • Facilitating 3D navigation in modeling applications without a physical mouse
Alternatives:
  • BetterTouchTool – More comprehensive gesture customization but heavier and paid; Middledrag is focused and free
  • MiddleClick – Similar middle-click functionality but lacks middle-drag support
