Oops, different language. How can we use the middle mouse button, the button to normally orbit (_=to faire pivoter_) **by double clicking** to quickly center a specific location of the model on screen, just like one can do in the desktop version of SketchUp?

_rant:_  
\_\_Who needs Google Translate? I just opened SketchUp Free without noticing the end of the url: fr \_  
_The english version was nowhere to be found in my search._

\_I then opened a second version (replacing fr for en) to now have both languages open. \_  
_So if one wants to “Mettre à jour” ones Free version to the Shop version, it just means you are updating SketchUp free._

Salut,  
ça ne fonctionne pas pour moi non plus. I guess maybe they don’t detect the middle button double click event, because it is [in browsers not a separate input event](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Events/dblclick) as it is [in SketchUp](http://ruby.sketchup.com/Sketchup/Tool.html#onMButtonDoubleClick-instance_method).

But it should be possible to distinguish primary (left) double clicks from middle double clicks:

Danke vielmals @Aerilius, so unfortunately both versions work “_slightly_” different at this point.
