Package: mouseemu
Version: 0.15-2
Severity: normal
Ok so let's start from the begging - just after installing this package we
have default config.
pressing F11 = right click
Why the hell it F11? Who inveneted this thing they wan't me to break my
fingers. F11 is located in the opossite side of keyboard - it's very very
unconvnient to use that key as right click.
Anyway this package is for ppc users, so I guess all PPC users (like me) are
familliar with MacOS keybindings. On MacOS ctrl+click = right-click. Why the
default config doesn't works that way?
pressing F10 = middle click
thats great. I use F10 as F10 in many applictions, and mouseemu is blocking
this key. It should be some unpopulr key for example ctrl+F10. It will be even
better to disable middle click - it's not as helpfull as right-click and all
users can live without this.
holding alt+scrolling trackpad works as mouse-wheel.
that's the only feture that Is useful here by default :-P
And now the second thing - Changing the default config.
I would like to use ctr+click = right-click
manual says i should check include/linux/input.h
(thats really cool-user-friendly thing - checking kernel headers) :-)
Anyway it seems that I have left_CTRL=29
So I changed mousemu
RIGHT_CLICK="-right 29 0"
I shoud down my Xsession. and I do
# invokde-rc.d mouseemu restart
....that's simple
nad after restarting it ctrl+click=nothing. Ok that's fine
So the second tip from manual is to use showkey - yeah that another easy-step:
# apt-file search bin/showkey
console-tools: usr/bin/showkey
kbd: usr/bin/showkey
# apt-get install console-tools
and now I can run showkey. And it shows keycodes as hex numbers - cool (I like
hex numbers). Anyway I had 0x9d for ctrl.
I was trying to put that number directly to mouseemu configuration file, but
It doesn't accept hex keyvodes.
Yes, yes - I know every computer user should calculate hex numbers on-the-fly in
thier mind. But I'm not as good as every computer user, so I used calculator.
It is exactl 29 dec, same as in input.h file.
I was also trying to use keycode showed by xev = 37, but of course it doesn't
work.
And in the end I was trying to disable this F10 key = middle-click,
because mouseemu was blocking normal usage of this key.
There is no information in manual what should be done, to disable middle-click.
So I was guessing that putting keycodes=0 as modifier and normal key will do
this. I was trying this:
MID_CLICK="-midlle 0 0"
but of course it doesn't work.
Summary:
1) Make default config more MacOS-like
2) make configuration file syntax more user-firednly for example
RIGHT_CLICK="left_clikc+CTRL" #will do the normal thing
RIGHT_CLICK="F11" # will do the funny thing as the current version
3) Maybe it is possible to intergrate this program with pbbuttonsd. Now I need
two daemons running (pbbuttonsd and mouseemu), to normally use my laptop.
