Customizing the Mouse and Keyboard

This section describes the following customizations:
• Changing mouse button actions.
• The xmodmap client.
• Going mouseless.
• Customizing keyboard input.
Changing Mouse Button Actions
Normally, the mouse pointer buttons are mapped as follows:
Default Mouse Button Mapping
Button Button on a 2-button mouse
Number
Button 1 Left button
Button 2 Both buttons simultaneously
Button 3 Right button

Button 5
However, you can change these mappings. To generate buttons 4 and 5 on a three-button mouse, you
must enable button chording as described later in this chapter.
