 Posted: Wed May 19, 2010 8:05 pm Post subject: XBindKeys and Logitech Performance Mouse MX [SOLVED] |
 |
|
So I've done some reseach and found that binding buttons on a mouse really isn't that difficult if using xbindkeys and xvkbd. However, I'm running into the following issues:
The middle mouse button event by default doesn't trigger a middle button action. Is there a way to configure a specific button to act as the middle button? Also, nothing happens when I click both right and left buttons together. In addition, when middle clicking in Firefox, the mouse should open the link in a new tab, while when in konsole, it should copy/paste. Some other buttons function normally.
Thanks for you help.

Think what you want is in: System-Settings > input actions, but I think that is application based. If not there, then somewhere in system-settings I would assume, been awhile since I've done input action stuff! ;P

Thanks Paradox. I'll dig around in there. It seems that kde is set up to handle middle-click for mice already. I just have to determine where I would override which button is the middle-click. If anybody else knows how/where to override that configuration it would make my day.

Are you using evdev or the mouse driver and which version of the xorg server?

Then hal would be where you would set the mouse behavior (button clicks, etc)

xmodmap may be what you need.
man xmodmap |

That was the solution. After looking into Xmodmap, I set everything back to default. You can see your current mouse/pointer settings by typing this:
| Code: |
xmodmap -pp
There are 24 pointer buttons defined.
Physical Button
Button Code
1 1
2 17
3 3
4 4
5 5
6 7
7 6
8 8
9 9
10 10
11 11
12 12
13 13
14 14
15 15
16 16
17 2
18 18
19 19
20 20
21 21
22 22
23 23
24 24
|
I then noticed that I had button 17 remapped to button 2. With this mapping set, xev would show button 17 whenever that buttonpress event occurred. I manually reset my xmodmap back to default. I had 24 buttons listed in the result of the previous command. I remapped them all like this:
| Code: |
sudo xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24"
xmodmap -pp
There are 24 pointer buttons defined.

20 20
21 21

24 24

The default actions for the buttons now work correctly. Apparently, I had set this up in my home .Xmodmap file a while back for another mouse. If you run into this issue, make sure that your .Xmodmap file isn't set to reset it upon restart (after making sure this is working correctly).
Thanks for everyones help on this. It's much appreciated.
