Method to consolidate branching node paths with track pad?

Question

Taking Jonathan's Assembly course and notice that branching node paths can be consolidated by dragging middle mouse. Does anybody know a way to do this for non-mouse users?

Hi ppbenson ,

I do not know what you mean with 'consolidating branching Node Paths', (I think I do that with SHIFT+RMB..),

but in your Preferences under Input > Mouse, you can enable Emulate 3 Button Mouse.

Like Martin mentioned, you can do that with Shift right click and drag, which I'm able to do on a laptop, although not as conveniently.

Thank you team. Yes it looks like this can work. If someone has two-finger-tap right-click settings, the solve is to fully press the trackpad down into a physical click and drag with two fingers rather than just a light two-finger touch and drag.
