I am not aware of any KDE-related config option to set this, but the tool
xmodmap (installed with Xfree86) allows for this. man xmodmap can help,
although it can be somewhat confusing :-) 

I don't have the exact syntax for this here, but I can mail you tomorrow if
you let me know. We're using this for our Mac/Linux X terminals since their
mouses just have one button...

Replace broken mouse button w/ keyboard combination(?)

2002-12-15 Thread Steffen Hein
Hi,
this might not be KDE specific, but maybe someone can help anyway.
I have a laptop and the right mouse button is broken, so I wonder if it is 
possible to make some combination (like Ctrl + Left mouse button or maybe the 
unused windows/winmenu key) send the signal as if the right mouse button is 
pressed. Anything like that possible?

Thanks in advance,

  ~sth
