The first 10 pointing device buttons are automatically assigned; you can reassign all except button 1, the pick button.
On a two-button mouse, the left button is the pick button used to
- Specify locations
- Choose menu options and dialog box buttons and fields
The operation of the right button on a mouse depends on context; it can be used to
- End a command in progress
- Display a shortcut menu
The Wheel Mouse
The wheel mouse has a small wheel between the buttons. The left and right buttons behave the same as they do on a standard mouse. You can rotate the wheel by discrete values. You can use the wheel to zoom and pan in your drawing without using any commands.
