I located a document by Debian including a suggestion (below) of using
the left side Command key for the right mouse button. I've never used a
macbook myself; can you folks share your feelings on this idea?
http://wiki.debian.org/MacBook:
"I like the Left side "Command" key on my keyboard as the third mouse button,
here's how I did it:
* Start gnome-terminal
* Run xev, it will display the X11 events it picks up
* Locate the keycode of the key you want to use:
o Press the key you want locate and locate the KeyPress event in
gnome-terminal
o Write down the keycode of the keyevent
* Run xmodmap -e "keycode 115 = Pointer_Button3" to update your keyboard
map (for this login session only)
* Add to gnome-session-properties to enable every session. "
I've also forwarded this idea upstream to xkeyboard-config for their
feedback. In googling around for other alternative suggestions, there
were also ideas to use Fn + Ctrl + Click, but I'm not sure that
addresses the discoverability issue as well. Any other preferences for
remapping?
(Fwiw, in googling around on this topic, there certainly is a
considerable amount of confusion among users on how to right-click.)
