Dirty hack option:  have a second device mirroring to the same input,
rewire first mouse button to foot pedal :)
I've been "casually" studying small-scale industrial production methodology.

For purposes of any specific application, it is probably easier to simply
remap the application input, rather than rewiring the mouse-handling on
an OS level.... (?)

ciao,

PS - When you ask, "...on the PC side?", do you mean on linux in particular?
Is there a specific application you desire to have similar functionality
within?

PPS - There are many input arbitration methods that have been developed for
the
alter-abled, as well -- I indirectly knew a quadripelegic systems programmer
who worked at a very high level, for administrative services of a large
university in the northeast, who operated his computer entirely with a
pen-like
stick held in his mouth :)

Have searched and searched on this topic, but I haven't yet discovered
if there's a keyboard equivalent to a hold-down-the-left-mouse-button.

Been doing a lot of drawing/tracing, and, on The Miggy, you could leave
your left index finger off the mouse button and concentrate on just the
movement of the drawing cursor by holding down the Alt and Left Amiga
keys at the same time.

Is there such an equivalent on the PC side?

Thanx, y'all,
