Out of luck, I pressed the middle button and moved the mouse. And there you see, the mouse returns button 4 and 5.That means that pressing the middle mouse button seems to morph the mouse into an implicit wheel. Thus, when I press the middle button and move my mouse, X11 applies the zoom in and zoom out operations. I think I can remap the button 4 / 5 to button 2 for the middle mouse. But then, the button 2 would only work when hitting the middle mouse button and move the mouse pointer. This is not what I want. Do you see any other way of turning the middle mouse button into a real useful button? Ciao Stephan -- | Cui bono? |
