General :: Mouse Button Programming - How Two Smaller Buttons Addressed
Apr 14, 2010
I have a Logitech ambidextrous trackball, with a left and right mouse button. The trackball device also has two smaller left and right buttons. I'd like to know how those two smaller buttons are addressed. Ultimately, I'd like to assign certain keystrokes to them, to make work faster. For example, ALT+<right arrow> moves a browser back one page. how to name these keys, or whether/how I should address this USB mouse. FWIW, I'm actually using it through the PS/2 mouse adapter, since that doesn't take a USB slot.

I know how to make another button act as the middle button but how can I map several mouse buttons to the middle button? xmodmap complains if I repeat button numbers in the pointer option.

Ive been using opensuse for a little while now. Recently ran into a problem My favorite mouse broke, so i went out and got a travel one. It has a very toucht third button under the scroll wheel. Apperently this button is to paste, but every time i scroll, it makes my life miserable, especially when im reading a lengthy page in firefox. I cannot figure out how to program the buttons. Ive googled, and seen some programs that MIGHT help. but this seems to be something that is built in to the OS. The mouse yast plugin doesnt give you the choice of shuting off the third button, or even reassigning it. I want the paste functionality GONE from my **** mouse

Ctrl-c with middle mouse button (MMB) trigger in running bash script trigger.
The key combination Ctrl-C or "^C" with the keyboard triggered on a running bash script stands for "signal interrupt" (SIGINT) and terminates the process.
For my workflow in the test phase, how I could do that with the MMB-Buffer, followed by the modified script command:
Code: Select allscript runs
script runs
script runs
Signal interrupt and rerun with MMB trigger:
Code: Select all^C; ./script.sh
modified script runs
modified script runs
does not work and 2 hours meta-crawlers

On windows I have an autohotkey script which:
- Only works when caps lock is on
- Generates left, middle and right mouse button events when left control, menu and alt keys are pressed
- Allows holding the keys down (for dragging objects)
Is there an easy way of duplicating this functionality in linux?

I am running Linux Ubuntu on a Dell Inspiron laptop that I bought at a garage sale for 50 cents. After spending quite a few hours resurrecting it, it works just fine except for the left and right mouse buttons on the touch pad. They do not function.Is there a way to emulate the left and right mouse buttons from the keyboard?(I know that I can just plug in a mouse, but I would rather just use the keyboard if possible.)

I'm trying out various windows mgrs and I'd love to be able to preserve certain key mappings...
...but what's REALLY important are the MOUSE KEYS!!!!!!!
I use the mouse left-handed. I can set that in Gnome or KDE easily, but if I go into, say Ratpoison, it's un-set again.
Is there a system-wide (or as close to it as possible) mouse setting?

I just upgraded to FC14 (64) from FC13 (32) and the mouse middle button (simultaneous left+right button) paste function has stopped working. I tested it with 3 makes/models of different mice and trackballs. For some reason (left+right) mouse returns the same code as the single right-button ('xev' value = 3). This worked in all previous FC and RH distros I've used in the past. Did a default setting get zonked somewhere? System: Toshiba laptop w/ USB mouse.

Lets say a BIOS interrupt is requested after the O.S is loaded. How is the BIOS code made available? Is it left it RAM even after the O.S boots?

CNEE(1) General Commands Manual says this. RECORD OPTIONS --first-last Print only first and last of multiple successive MotionEvent. So I try this. my test window is Calculator 3.14.1 cnee --record --mouse --keyboard --time 5 --store-mouse-position --first-last --stop-key h -o xnee.xns -e xnee_record.log -v;The result is, xnee.xns lists every mouse movement.But I only need to record the mouse location when there is a mouse button event. it seems --first-last does not work. How can I make it work?I use

1) check if a mouse button is pressed down. I need to check this status of mouse button again and again inside a loop. Depending on the status, some function will be called. OR
2) check if some key of the keyboard is pressed down. I need to check this status of 'key' again and again inside a loop. Depending on the status, some function will be called.
Either of the two above will serve my purpose.
I am using Ubuntu 10.10.

I just bought a new mouse - just a cheapie usb wheel mouse but it has an extra 'thumb' button which I thought I might as well set up to do something useful. I used 'xev' to determine the numbers that the OS had assigned to the buttons, and I found it wasn't quite what I was expecting:
left = 1
wheel-as-button = 2
right = 3
wheel-up = 4
wheel-down = 5
thumb = 8
I thought the right button would be '2' and the 'wheel-as-button' would be 3 - that's just how I've always seen them referred to in explanations, and I thought it was standardised. Not a big deal - the context menus still pop up when I click the right button so it all works ok. (And I just discovered the wheel-as-button does a 'paste' operation when it's clicked. Weird - I've never noticed that before...) But the thing that I find particularly odd: why is the thumb button assigned as '8'. What happened to '6' and '7'? Does the operating system assign these numbers, or are they built into the hardware in the mouse itself? Again, no big deal, I know I can remap the buttons if I need to, but I was just curious as to how this all works and google didn't help.

I'm currently trying to set up the extra buttons on my Tablet PC and I can't find a way how to get a working button code to show up. I have used the xev command and it doesn't show up anything when I press the buttons. When I tried the dmesg command I get this:

I am using ubuntu 11.04 and I moved the maximize, minimize and close buttons to the right corner using gconf-editor besides that, I added the menu button to the left corner that's the one which is causing problems.
Whenever I click it, all window decorations (meaning borders) disappear.
I end up with two options, either logging out and back into ubuntu, what restarts all programs (as well as compiz as far as I understand) and the problem is gone (at least temporarily) the other nonpermanent fix is to disable and reenable window decorations in the compizconfig settings manager, the result of that action is not really a fix, since it leaves my top panel (which is usually transparent) completely scrambled

I am trying to use my Microsoft Optical Wheel Mouse (it has left button, right button and the wheel button) in Ubuntu 9.04.I would like to use the wheel button to perform the same task as backspace key in firefox browser and file browser. I have hunted around the net for the past two weeks and found many articles on imwheel and editing x11config files but they all are for 5 of 7 button mice. I have installed and used imwheel -c which tells me that it is "wheel: Left Button 6". However as a total beginner with Linux I am not sure what to do from here. I am hoping that someone would be kind enough to give me a reasonably detailed explanation of what I need to do. If someone could spend some time to list what files I need to edit and what I need to insert into them for this mouse I would be grateful.

My ubuntu session will freeze and stop working. For example, the mouse and the keyboard will stop responding and the screen sometimes get divided into 4 smaller quadrants of the current screen.The only thing I can do after it freezes is reboot the machine.Would anyone know what is causing this?Also, I keep having to move my optical mouse from the usb slot into a ps/2 slot.And the same thing with my keyboard. I have 2 keyboards, so I can plug in the old ps/2 keyboard instead of the new usb keyboard. (the devices keep flipping)My machine is an AMD 3400 with an Epox mobo. Nothing like this has ever happened before, and I have been using ubuntu for more than 4 years without any problems.

I've upgraded to FC11 and I've noticed that the extra buttons on my Logitech mx1000 mouse are now detected. However most of them aren't mapped to anything. In the past one would start changing the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file. Lately, there seems to be movement away from changing this file and I notice that the default xorg.conf has no entry in it for the mouse. Is there a new preferred way to map mouse buttons? I'd like to make buttons 6 and 7 scroll horizontally and button 10 instruct compiz to show all windows.

I've recently installed Ubuntu 10.10 as a dual partition with Windows 7 running alongside. I'm trying it out for almost over an hour, but this very unusual problem came up - after around 20 minutes while system is running, the mouse stops responding. its still working - it moves, the red light thingi is still on, but the buttons aren't responding.
it has the same symptoms every time - system runs for around 10-20 minutes, then left button stops working. 2 minutes later the right one joins as well, and from that moment its a matter of seconds till the mouse wheel won't respond too this has happened 3 times already, and last time it happened after a while the right button & the mouse wheel started working for about 2 minutes and then stopped responding again. do you guys have ANY clue what this is? am I pressing on a hotkey or something like that which is causing this thing?

I want to make use of extra buttons on my Logitech RX1000 mouse.
For e.g. the zoom button I would like it to show windows on my desktop (ctrl+F9).
I've fired up xev and found out that this is button 8:
Code:
Then I've added to ~/.xbindkeysrc:
Code:
But that doesn't work at all.

I am running 9.10 (Karmic) on a Compaq Presario CQ60 laptop with Nvidia graphics. I have installed the -185 driver which has solved most problems. However every so often the system seems to lose track of the mouse button state. The first symptom of this is that all mouse movements on text are treated as if the left button is being held down: mouse movement selects text rather than just moving the graphics cursor. I am using a M$ optical mouse.
I have tried:unplugging and replugging the mouse using Ctl-Alt-F1 to go into a console and Ctl-Alt-F7 to go back to the GUI I am able to shut down all of the open windows normally using the keyboard, but the only way I have so far found to get the GUI working again is to reboot the system.
