Re: pismo mouse questions and tangent

Thanks.  But I didn't notice before that both option keys give the same keycode (56), and that fn+return gives the same keycode as the enter key by the spacebar (96).  Is there a way to distinguish between the two option keys, and between enter and fn+return? 

>> 1) How does one redifine keys (in X) to be mouse buttons?  I know I need to use showkey to get the keycode for each key, but I don't know where to tell X that those keys should be used as middle and right mouse buttons.  I want a keydown to be a mousedown, and a key release to be a mouseup.  That is, I don't to have to option-click to get a right click; I want to be able to just press the option key.
