Hi, gays. I have two big problem for working in Linux desktop (KDE). Usually I use OpenSuse as my desctop machine.

First problem I need a mouse handle program as Windows X-Mouse. I usually have 5-mouse button and assign to button CRTL-C and CTRL-V, but KDE not know anything about 5-button mouse.

And second my problem I need a program as WinSCP, for edit various remote file in servers by SCP and full screen GUI.

burgas,

1. Try easystroke:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/easystroke/

2. Although it is no longer updated gFTP works fine as an equivalent to WinSCP:

2. I use SciTE instead to the integrated editor in WinSCP. SciTE runs on both windows and Linux, so I don’t have to adjust when my desktop changes.

Re winscp replacement, there's a list here https://www.ubuntupit.com/best-linux...r-linux-geeks/.
I've tended to use FileZilla in the past if I need a GUI.

FileZilla is a great program, I agree. But it don't know anything about SCP, FileZilla use only SFTP. SFTP more advanced protocol than SCP, but SCP usually present always without any tuning (if you check on SSH during installation). And, of course, WinSCP use more protocols to connect to remote server, like WedDav for Windows of Amazon S3 and more. But in practice with FTP protocol Filezilla working faster, because you can create a lot of download/upload thread.

correct URL for easystroke for OpenSuse is https://software.opensuse.org/packag...erm=easystroke
but after half of hour I still don't understand how this program working
I define three additional button, OK
and what next, how to assign to this button standard keyboard combination Crtl-C and Ctrl-V ?

“Standard” keystrokes work out of the box in SciTE...just sayin’

I will admit I haven’t bothered to figure out how to open, edit and save a remote file with FileZilla, as can be done with WinSCP...but I still do most of my web programming maintenance in my Windows desktop...I can and do use FileZilla to download a file, edit it with SciTE, and upload to the server.

I use nano via ssh at the command line for “minor” maintenance like updating spam blocking config files.

burgas,

Another route is to install xbindkeys:

Code:

sudo apt install xbindkeys xbindkeys-config xautomation x11-utils

https://blog.hanschen.org/2009/10/13...ith-xbindkeys/

Bind the mouse buttons using either the command line and xbindkeys or graphically with xbindkeys-config.
