Have you checked if you can run 2 monitors out of the single DisplayPort connection? You almost certainly won't be able to run two 4K@60Hz displays but doing two 1080p should be easy and maybe even two 1440p ones or two 4K@30Hz. You'll probably need something like this:

Edit: apparently even 2x4K@60Hz is possible these days in recent Intel integrated graphics. So it's highly likely your laptop can drive pretty much any two monitors you want. What you want is the DisplayPort MST feature and you can either buy one of those adapters or have one of the monitors support daisy chaining in which case you connect the laptop to the first one and then that laptop connects it's DisplayPort output to the DisplayPort input of any monitor (doesn't have to specifically support MST). Supposedly the drivers in Ubuntu 18.04 should have all you need for that.
But what if I don't have a touchpad? What if I have a real mouse with only two buttons? What if I have a 3-button mouse with an unergonomic 3rd button (pretty much every one I've used)?
What I want is middle button emulation on all pointing devices all the time, except when I run a program that itself uses left+right click for some special function, in which case I want to be able to toggle middle button emulation off without restarting X.
I don't think I'm using libinput. I found nothing about it in
/var/log/Xorg.0.log, and my machine was originally installed with Fedora 21 and has been upgraded through 22 and 23.
