Hi,

Is possible to middle-click/right-click without the mouse ? I found
Ctrl-click stands for middle-click in firefox, but not in other
apps. I've tried various combinations with Ctrl, Alt, click, no
luck. ;-(

thanks in advance,

Which distro do you use?
In my debian I have set Fn+ctrl as middle click and Fn+alt as right click.
I think the default behaviour of mouse emulation of ppc is the use of F10
and F11 keys. Try them.

I can (well, almost) hear you asking yourselves "why?". Hurd will be
out in a year (or two, or next month, who knows), and I've already got
minix.

Debian too.

In /etc/sysctl.conf put:

#Mouse button emulation
dev/mac_hid/mouse_button_emulation = 1

That will do the trick.

and how can i emulate the macosx-behaviour (i.e. ctrl+click = right
mouse click)?
