Hi all - Linux newbie & Windows refugee here. I have Debian 'Buster' (64 bit + KDE 'Plasma-5' + Nvidia video) successfully installed & mostly tweaked on my older X86 PC. Very happy with it so far!
In Windows, I had a little background program that would (at a low level) 'trap' a single-middle-button push and convert it to a double-click. I.e. any program, including Windows Explorer, would see a double-click. (Mouse is an old Logitech "Marble-Mouse" - 3 buttons, obviously.)
I really miss this little bit of wizardry.
Question: Is there a (simple!) way to accomplish this same conversion in Debian? (Remember, at a low level so that it works everywhere.)
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
-Richard

Re: Middle mouse button = double-click?
It is possible to do what you want with xdotool & xbindkeys[0] but they only work under X. For Wayland configuration details like this depend on the compositor implementation and I don't think any of the available compositors support this functionality.kskruser wrote:at a low level so that it works everywhere
