Thanks for this hint, this sounds interesting indeed. However, I have
not been able to put it to work; maybe I didn't understand your suggestion
entirely correctly. I did
xkbset m
xkbset exp m
xmodmap -e 'keycode 115 = Pointer_Button2 Pointer_Drag2'
After that, the "Windows" key, which is normally dead with my X setup
but produces keycode 115 (as determined by xev) works like a middle
mouse button.
The real middle button, however, remains dead. Using xev, I found that
pressing the middle button does not generate any event.
So, how do I get the middle mouse button to generate "ms-window"
keypress / keyrelease events?
