[PD] click interface hack??

[Peter Plessas]

For anyone on Linux, there is a nice workaround using your capslock-key
as a mouse button as posted on this list by i think Frank some time ago:
(You might need to check the numeric keycodes of your keyboard with xev
first).

# disable capslock
xmodmap -e "remove lock = Caps_Lock"

# set to mouse button 
xmodmap -e "keycode 66 = Pointer_Button1"

# turn things on:
xkbset m

#########################################

# turn it off again:
xmodmap -e "keycode 66 = Caps_Lock"
xkbset -m
xmodmap -e "add lock = Caps_Lock"


mfg, Peter
