How do I get F12 button to be mouse button 2 on a Ti Powerbook
Hi all,
I am trying to get F12 to emulate the middle (button 2) mouse button.
A search of google groups shows one person asking this but no follow up.
Here is what I do:
1. In a console i.e. no X I use showkey to get the key code and I get
F8 = 66
F9 = 67
F10 = 68
F11 (show key does not show anything but 88 works)
F12 = 108
2.
By echoing 68 to /proc/sys/dev/mac_hid/mouse_button2_keycode I can get
F10 to be button 2
By echoing 88 to /proc/sys/dev/mac_hid/mouse_button3_keycode I can get
F11 to be button 3
These work on the desktop and in an X terminal using Enlightenment (I
dont use Gnome or KDE).
But if I echo 108 to mouse_button2_keycode nothing happens when I click
F12 and text is highlighted. I want F12 to 'paste' text under X as that
key is the fastest and most acurate key to hit.
I have seen another post asking a similar question on google groups via
seasrching for "mouse emulation" F12 but there was no follow up to that
thread.
I Am Using Debian stable on a PowerBook G4 667 MHz with Enlightenment.
