Hi Miguel

Over the weekend I bought a little Bluetooth/USB nubbin (Asus). Then
borrowed my wife's Apple Magic Mouse. Rubbing from side to side does pan
on newPCB, but the back and forth rub is connected to the zoom - just
like a trackball, which is probably what your Fedora21 KiCad is
configured for.

I tried the two finger pinch, but nothing much happened.  Bringing the
mouse back to my wife's Mac, the pinch gesture on the top of the mouse
doesn't seem to work there either. I tested it with an application which
responds to the cmd + and cmd - keys for zoom in and zoom out.

Even for Apple there are limits to what can be done with the mouse.

Have fun

Bob G
