What is MiddleDrag?

Professional 3D software expects middle-mouse-button navigation. MacBook trackpads don't have one.

For years, CAD users on Mac have been forced to either carry an external mouse, use awkward four-key modifier combinations, or fight with unreliable workarounds. Forum threads dating back to 2017 are filled with users pleading for a solution.

MiddleDrag fixes this. Three-finger tap for middle-click. Three-finger drag for middle-drag. Works alongside Mission Control and other system gestures.

Features

Three-finger tap ? Middle mouse click Three-finger drag ? Middle mouse drag (pan/orbit in 3D apps) Works with system gestures — Mission Control, Exposé, and other macOS gestures remain functional Native macOS app — Menu bar interface, no terminal configuration required Configurable — Adjust sensitivity and smoothing to your preference Launch at login — Set it and forget it
