"It means click the button in the middle"

If she can use a computer and browse the web, she can learn to use the mouse she owns.

[Note: props to your grandma]

Edit: Wait, maybe you're referring to a mouse that has the wheel but the wheel isn't a button? In that case, the GP could have said "right click, open image" rather than "middle click". Same thing.



Arh, but then she will forget how to left click and we will be back to square one.


I recently noticed that a surprising number of people around me don't know that middle click opens links in a new tab.

Most of them use the right click drop down option.


I always used Ctrl-Left Click


"What's a tab?"

"And have you seen my medication?"
