HI!
1 grab the button
2 do a while loop where you poll for events
3 fake whatever you like with XTest
Here's some pseudo code
XGrabButton (...)
while (XGetNextEvent( ..., ev, ..))
{
switch (ev)
...
XFakeKeyEvent( ... )
}
I've writtn a program that does "the inverse" called xbut (will be
renamed any day)... look into the source code of that.
