I could reproduce this on my laptop and found the fix.
The problem is, that the middle mouse button only generates a key
press/key release event pair once its released (can be seen using xev
and `libinput debug-events').
This is caused by the trackpoint driver using one-button scrolling by
default (that is, you can hold the middle mouse button and move the
trackpoint - even though this didn't work for me).
You can disable on-button scrolling using xinput, e.g.
xinput set-prop 'TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint' \
'libinput Scroll Method Enabled' 0 0 0
After this, Ctrl+middle works as expected in xterm.
Note: Check `xinput' output to get the correct device name for your
trackpoint (you can also use its numeric identifier, but the name is
supposed to be more stable).
Cheers,
Michael
p.s. I also learned that using the trackpoint and the trackpad in
parallel (and thus having buttons) works okay now - it didn't when I
configured that laptop two years ago - \o/
