Great app!! I now save a lot of time in chrome/firefox.

@BRAD I agree, it should be default with mac os.

I have middle click and I am using it for the magic mouse, but it’s not opening a new tab when I do it. It opens my dashboard.

There don’t seem to be settings anywhere for me to have told it to do this, so I’m confused why it’s happening.

First of all, thanks for a grate tool!

I can agree with those who say that status bar is not the best place for it, but since I’ve bought a magic mouse I’ve covered an issue: 3d click starts working only after quitting and opening tool again. And the easiest workaround would be adding a refresh/relaunch option to status bar icon. Looks really easy to implement.

And thanks again for a wonderful tool!

If you want to make this app truly run in background, you don’t need to compile the source by yourself. Instead do these:

1. Put the app as a Login Item and tick the Hide check.
2. Open Package Content of the app.
3. Open “Info.plist” file with any text editor. It’s actually just an XML file.
4. Paste this line:
LSUIPresentationMode
3
inside the “” tag. This options is to hide icon of the app from Dock and/or App.
5. Open the Resource folder.
6. Remove or rename the “mouse.png” file.
7. (re)Start the app.

Now, you should get this app truly running on background, no dock icon, no menu bar icon, nothing. As consequences, you need to kill it from Activity Monitor (or Terminal) to shutdown the app.

HTH. And, thanks the app.
