Thank you. I believe that this use of xinput I accomplish with xmodmap. My question is "downstream" of that. Assuming I have configured the mouse (in my case via xmodmap) and when I push a certain physical button it generates a pair of x events ButtonPress event, serial 36, synthetic NO, window 0x4200001, root 0x13b, subw 0x0, time 28609618, (45,96), root:(464,877), state 0x10, button 13, same_screen YES ButtonRelease event, serial 36, synthetic NO, window 0x4200001, root 0x13b, subw 0x0, time 28609820, (54,94), root:(473,875), state 0x10, button 13, same_screen YES How do I tell emacs to do something (say end-of-buffer) when button 13 is pressed? thanks again, allan
