Last tablets I tried (not tablet pc, but the input device ones) seem to have tip and two side buttons (so MB1, MB2 and MB3 as per X11 terms are avaliable). OTOH, I am talking about the typical brand of tablets, dunno other brands. As is, it is just moving from MB2 to MB1+Space, so requires two hands and still moves the pointer. Only adventage I see is when there is no MB2 at all (single button devices without any option to simulate other buttons). > might be a good idea to follow that example.

So I wonder... are there other better uses? Alternate between two tools for example? Or would there be a way to make it configurable, so anyone can bind any function to it (I ask due the "only while pressed" vs "press & release", and the lack of "move view" tool)?
