Right Click, the right way? Options

[kkazakov13]

Is it possible to have something like

Fn + tap = right click ( ONE time only ) ?

Not like "To change in right click mode, press something, to change it back to left click mode, press something else". I hate this.

any ideas?

Ah, even tap and hold would work when keyboard cannot be used.

If the X server supports the XKB extension you can use xmodmap to map the mouse buttons onto the keyboard, see http://www.geocities.jp/fred_b_maciel/kbd/kbd-e.html.

Of course, that's not really useful for a touchscreen! I was distracted by the program to generate click events and forgot about the original idea... This is great for a one-button trackpad (I'm looking at you, MacBook), but for a touchscreen, there's no mouse move, just click and drag, so it only lets you right/middle-click somewhere where you already just left clicked...

xbindkeys might do what you want though if you use the press event to change the mapping and the release event to put it back.
