Ideally, I would like the left button to be mouse-1, the right button to
be mouse-3, simultanous left and right click to be mouse-2, and for the
scroll wheel to be left undefined.
So far the closest I've come is with (setq w32-num-mouse-buttons 2), but
that still has scroll wheel and simultanous left and right click both set
to mouse-2.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
