remapping a mouse button.

remapping a mouse button.

[rgb]

My Mouse-2 button is also the wheel.
That makes stuff like using flyspell-correct-word hard because you
need to try not to scroll while pressing it.
What I want is for Mouse-4 to be viewed as Mouse-2
That is, do anything that would normally happen if I used Mouse-2.

if your running under X, I believe you can configure this for all apps
in the X config file (i.e. xorg.conf, xfee86.conf).

As Lennart said you call ls with -1 arg or you can always call ls with
this arg setting it like that:

,----
| (setq eshell-ls-initial-args '(-1)) 
`----

now when you call for example "ls | wc -l" , you will have the
good number of lines.

It would be cool to have a function to call in some hook to call ls -1
only if there is a "|" after ls, this function do that but i need a hook
to call it:

,----
| (defun eshell-set-ls ()
|   (let ((com-line
|          (eshell-parse-arguments (re-search-backward "ls") (line-end-position))))
|     (if (equal (nth 1 com-line) '(eshell-operator "|"))
|         (setq eshell-ls-initial-args '(-1))
|         (setq eshell-ls-initial-args nil))))
`----

Unfortunately I'm not.
So I'm left finding a way to do it in Emacs.
