Getting correct middle click and right click emulation on X11.app/Leopard
Par zogzog, samedi 27 octobre 2007 à 19:51 :: General
I'm writing this one in english because it may be helpful to some people. I am quite pissed off with the number of stupid bugs that are plaguing Apple's latest X11.app . Especially the fact that the so-called "emulate three button mouse" option is completely broken. In Tiger, it used to map 'option+click' to middle click, and 'command+click' to right click. In Leopard it is: 'option+click' = right click, and 'command+click' = 'Meta Middle-click' ... WTF ?!
issuing these commands in a terminal:
defaults write org.x.X11 fake_button2 option defaults write org.x.X11 fake_button3 control
restores the old behaviour for middle-click, and uses control for right click (so you get a real right click, and a meta-right-click). If anyone knows how to get right-click with 'command+click' I would be interested.
