Middle Mouse Button on Ubuntu XPS 13 9350

Hello everyone,

does anyone know how the middle mouse button is activated and how to use it? I just cannot find anything in the preferences.

Thanks

Mine has always worked fine, in all configurations.

That depends on how you configure your touchpad, but in the default clickpad settings, it should be a three-finger-click.

So google was my friend and I was able to find the configuration. I decided to with

$ synclient TabButton3=2

which essentiall makes a 3 finger tap into a middle click. Anyhow, this is not persistent after reboot. Does anyone know how to make these changes persisten? 3 finger click did not work from the beginning.

Is there any other place to configure the touchpad? I did not find a gui for that at least. But command line is OK as long as I can make that stay after reboot.

This is my config right now:

$ synclient -l
