Re: emulate three-button mouse(macintosh)
I just managed to map the middle mouse Button to <fn> <alt>
and the right one to <fn> <apple> with the following trick:
I took the old
/etc/default/mouseemu
initialization file and picked out the keycodes.
And edited in
sysctl.conf
the following lines:
# Emulate the middle mouse button with <fn> <alt> and the right with
<fn> <apple>.
dev/mac_hid/mouse_button_emulation = 1
dev/mac_hid/mouse_button2_keycode =0 100
dev/mac_hid/mouse_button3_keycode =0 126
So i should mention that I use Ubuntu, on this maschine and couldn't
find mouseemu in the repositories. Otherwise I had used it. But with
these settings I am much more satisfied, because it saves compusation
time and Memory when I ain't got another task running...
For the ones interested, here's the mouseemu init-file which I used
under sarge to emulate 3 Buttons:
# Defaults for mouseemu initscript (/etc/init.d/mouseemu)
# This is a POSIX shell fragment
MID_CLICK="-middle 0 100" # Function Alt
RIGHT_CLICK="-right 0 126" # Function Apple
SCROLL="-scroll 125" # ????
Hope this helps,
Rainer
p.s.: If anyone knows a way of how to map an key kombination as ins-key
I'm very interested in it!

I opened an enhancement request in GNOME asking for the Macintosh
Keyboard and MacOS-style modifier usage, but the request was closed,
saying the option belongs in the X server.
So this comes back around to a question of whether a custom X keymap
can give you what you need.
