My mouse does actually have a middle button (a pressable scroll
wheel)
but pressing this doesn't give me the effect I want either.
Does that button actually work? One way to test that is to open the
mouse preferences, and use the test gadget to see if all the buttons
provoke a response.
I've got two mice that have been resoldered many times, because they
fall off the desk and hit the middle mouse button/wheel and damage its
connection.

George Orwell's '1984' was supposed to be a warning against tyranny, not
a set of instructions for supposedly democratic governments.
