Middle-click on Lenovo laptop

I just got myself a new Lenovo T400 laptop and I'm quite enjoying it. However, I'm kind of a middle click junky, it gets used on my desktop probably more than Right-click. Anyway, on other laptops I have been able to use Right Click + Left Click to emulate a middle click. Is there anyway to do this?

Solution 1:

Update your synaptics touchpad driver - there should be an option to set corners as middle-click.

I've not been following synaptics driver development - it could be that now there's an option for two-button-middle-click-emulation too.

Update : 2-button-middle-click-emulation found for T400 here.

Solution 2:

With Windows 10, the Mouse part of the new Settings app has an "ELAN TrackPoint for Thinkpad" heading (which can also be accessed just by typing e.g. "trackpoint" with Start menu open). This leads to a "TrackPoint settings" link, and there the Middle Button Action dropdown menu can be changed from Scrolling to Middle Click.
