Re: plan9port on osx

since commit 9af9ceca, the metal backend has (undocumented),

  Allow touch events to simulate mouse clicks:
  three finger tap for the middle mouse button;
  four finger tap for the 2-1 chord.

In addition Ctrl/Alt/Cmd works as 1/2/3 button, so you can invoke 2-1 chord by pressing Alt and then Ctrl with your left thumb, while right thumb pressed on the trackpad.
