 Posted: Mon Jun 19, 2006 8:06 pm Post subject: Configuring "extra" button as double-click |
 |
|
I've finally been able to get my USB 4-button + scrollwheel mouse to work correctly in XOrg 6.8.2 using the correct options for mouse protocol, ZAxisMapping, and using xmodmap. The 4th clickable button generates a Button 6 event when pressed, which is interpreted as a "Back" navigation event in programs like Firefox and Konqueror. I am not using imwheel.
What I would like to do is map this 4th button to a double-click of button 1, X-wide. It doesn't seem like I can do this with xbindkeys & xvkbd or any other commonly suggested program(s). Have I missed something and can imwheel or xbindkeys & xvkbd do what I want? If not, how can I consume the button 6 event and make it look to all X programs as if it is a double click of button 1? With typical mouse drivers in windows for Logitech or Kensington mice, this kind of mapping is trivial to do...
Thanks. |

| I don't think that this is possible, but you could do all sort of other things with your 4th mouse button: For example, I use it to move programs (via FVWM configuration). |

Of course -- it's entirely up to the application in question which receives the mouse event what it does with it -- what did you think happens?

Which window manager or desktop environment are you using? FVWM can do what you ask, although if it's mapping this to a specific application then you're most likely out of luck. Since you seem to have tried xmodmap already (I doubt you've looked at it too much), there's not a lot else you can do.

Can be done with imwheel. This is how I have it configured for Logitech G5 on Debian:
/etc/X11/xorg.conf
| Code: | Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Configured Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "CorePointer"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"
Option "Dev Name" "Logitech USB Gaming Mouse"
Option "Buttons" "8"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5 6 7"
Option "Resolution" "800"
EndSection |
~/.imwheelrc
| Code: | ".*"
None, Thumb1, Button1, 2 |
/etc/X11/imwheel/startup.conf
| Code: | IMWHEEL_START=1
IMWHEEL_PARAMS="-b "4 5 6 7 8"" |
