I located a document by Debian including a suggestion (below) of using the left side Command key for the right mouse button. I've never used a macbook myself; can you folks share your feelings on this idea?
http://wiki.debian.org/MacBook: "I like the Left side "Command" key on my keyboard as the third mouse button, here's how I did it: * Start gnome-terminal * Run xev, it will display the X11 events it picks up * Locate the keycode of the key you want to use: o Press the key you want locate and locate the KeyPress event in gnome-terminal o Write down the keycode of the keyevent * Run xmodmap -e "keycode 115 = Pointer_Button3" to update your keyboard map (for this login session only) * Add to gnome-session-properties to enable every session. " I've also forwarded this idea upstream to xkeyboard-config for their feedback. In googling around for other alternative suggestions, there were also ideas to use Fn + Ctrl + Click, but I'm not sure that addresses the discoverability issue as well. Any other preferences for remapping? (Fwiw, in googling around on this topic, there certainly is a considerable amount of confusion among users on how to right-click.) -- Bad mapping for Right-Click on PowerPC https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/46378 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
