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