Yes indeed, and BTW:

1) KiCad site and docs are missing a "recommended hardware" list, just to warn
users that probably KiCad is going to work well/bad on your choosen (or
not) hardware. There is not even a recomended screen resolution that IMHO
all decend CADs have or the suggestion to use ...

2) the only mention to this is here:

http://docs.kicad-pcb.org/en/pcbnew.html#_general_remarks

for the 3 button mouse and nothing more (and that should be in the
getting started doc IMHO)...
