Closing through lack of progress.

@jeremypw Missed this. Helps to ping if things have gone by the wayside.

Edit: There is a lot of "right click" in for example https://github.com/search?q=repo%3Aelementary%2Fwebsite+right+click&type=code to get to.

What is the nomenclature for middle-click?

If you call what is usually "A" on a game controller the primary button it is also correct, but similarly there is no way for the user to know what is what on the thing right in front of them.

@comradekingu Please re-open if you wish this to be reconsidered. @danirabbit has some comments that have not been resolved so maybe ping her to discuss. I guess fixing questionable wording on old release notes may not be a high priority, but there are some valid points to be considered for subsequent releases.

@jeremypw I can't reopen it. I am not part of the org.

If you want it can then be reverted to "secondary-click" and the inconsistency and whatever middle-click is can be an issue for another day.

My thinking is that people having changed clicking over to the other side or use special equipment know about it. That way mostly everyone else can figure out what side the clicking occurs from its naming.

Some 30 years of being exposed to computers doesn't mean I find "tertiary click" intuitive, but that is what I thought it was. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mouse_button

"Combine primary- and secondary-clicks to execute a tertiary click." is an example of something I propose very few people in the target audience would understand.

@lenemter Luckily the fixed description is all that is left after conflicts. :)

@danirabbit The translations aren't broken, they are just fuzzified. I'll have a look to see what I can do. At least we agree it wasn't at all good :)

@comradekingu Would you consider a description similar to the Google AI one?
