App Specific Button Mappings?


Hiya,

I use rdesktop to M$ all friggin day for work...

It would be awesome if my middle click to rdeskstop, sent a Ctrl-V instead of middle click event.

Then it would be UNIXY, with middle button pasting!

I dont use whatever that scrolly polly middle-click thing does in M$win.

I've asked rdesktop people to no answer.
Perhaps my WM Fluxbox can do it, or some other X layer??

JM

I don't know if flux could do such a thing. But I am fairly sure that this is doable in fvwm. I think that something like this in the config file should do it:

Code:
Mouse (rdesktop) 2 W A ThisWindow FakeKeypress press Control press v
Not sure if it will work as intended, but maybe a workable solution could be found based on that. Maybe a fluxbox user knows a way to do a similar thing in flux.
