Since going over to MacOS X, I have been unable to have my Kensington
11-button trackball perform triple-clicks, an action very nice to have
the right-button perform in applications that don't support contextual
menus. Like MacSOUP.

I hoped that I would be able to have it in the new QuicKeys X3, since it
supports repeated clicks relative to mouse /and/ to let such a shortcut
be triggered by a device - such as a trackball button. But no, it
doesn't really give triple-clicks in a proper way.

The usage in MacSOUP? Et will let you triple-click on a line and thus
select a full line. If you don't release the button immediately, it will
let you easily select a full section of line. A quite common task in
MacSOUP, if you want to comment on this section. Either by making a new
answer through pressing F, or by copying and alt-pasting it into an
answer you are already working on.

Instead, I have to be content with applying drag-doubleclick to this
button in the MouseWorks in scope MacSOUP. In lieu of tripleclick or
drag-tripleclick.
