I got one of those mice with extra buttons for productivity. I plugged it in. It works well. xinput recognizes all the buttons.
I am able to map any of the buttons to a command such as opening a program using xbindkeys. But I now need to do something similar but different, which is to have one of the buttons function as an Enter key. I don't know if xbindkeys can do that.
I also tried Antimicro but it seems to be only meant for joysticks.
The main reason for wanting one of the buttons to function like the Enter key is because I use programs with lots of dialogs (such as qcad) and I often have to reach for the Return key with my left hand. Being able to do this with a mouse button will speed things up. I'm also interested in having another of the extra buttons mapped to a letter key such as Q, but first I need the Enter key.
Thanks
