Hi!

I really thought this is a FAQ, but after searching for hours on Google and 
posting on various newsgroups, it doesn't seem to be.

All my mousebuttons are visible in xev, so X knows about them. However that's 
pretty useless by itself as no app (except xev) I know uses more than 3 
buttons (and the wheel).

Now I would like to use an additional mousebutton as an additional "Alt" key. 

That means if I press the mousebutton the system should behave the same way it 
would if I would press the left "Alt" key.

The Linux/PPC crowd is often mapping F11 and F12 to work as mouse-buttons, it 
should be possible to do it the other way around, too.

Does anybody know how to do it?

Thanks a lot,

Roland
