3 Ardour is designed to work best with a <dfn>three button mouse</dfn>
4 equipped with a <dfn>scroll wheel</dfn>.
7 It can be used with a two button mouse or touchpad, but at least two key
8 operations will not (easily) be available to you:
11 <li>time-constrained region copying</li>
12 <li><a href="/using-control-surfaces/generic-midi/midi-learn/"><abbr title="Musical
13 Instrument Digital Interface">MIDI</abbr> bindings</a>
14 created by "learning" them from incoming MIDI data</li>
17 You are strongly encouraged to invest in a three-button mouse. You will
18 find that a good quality mouse (especially one with a weighted,
19 latchable scroll wheel) will make your use of Ardour vastly more
20 efficient. They are cheap, and time is not.
