This fork differs from the base fork in some ways
- Configurations: Number of Fingers, Click or Tap
- preferred setting is saved for every user
- Removed old 32-bit/PowerPc `relaunch` binary due to it's incompatibility with macOS 10.15 Catalina and greater. Replaced with inline restarting of the app
- The App will not only restart on waking the Mac, but when a new touch device is added (so it immediately gains middleclicking ability) and when a display is added/reconfigured (for proper click positioning)
#### Attention! Make sure to:
1. Quit an old version of MiddleClick
2. Remove it from the privacy settings
3. Enable the new version in privacy settings when prompted
> The app should be closed when you change the privacy settings, otherwise the Mouse may not be clickable and you may have to `killall MiddleClick` via terminal or even force restart the Mac.
