How to map mouse keys as keyboard keys without losing'numeric keypad' for Linux?
I know how to map mouse click for F1, F2 and F3 (respectively left click, middle click, right click):
xkbset m # required, but disable keypad
xmodmap -e "keycode 67 = Pointer_Button1 Pointer_Button1"
xmodmap -e "keycode 68 = Pointer_Button2"
xmodmap -e "keycode 69 = Pointer_Button3"
But this requires me to use xkbset m that use the slow keys mode :
If I press 4 from the keypad, it moves the cursor to the left. I don't need this feature, just the mapping above.
I tried to figure it out with xdotool, but I don't know how to handle key pressed/key released (for drag & drop) with
xdotool mousedown 1
xdotool mouseup 1
How can I not use this mode or how can I remap all keypad keys ?
What about the numeric and arithmetic signs from keypad please ?
Is there another solution ?
For information, needed for Debian (cinnamon) and Archlinux (xfce), and if possible, I would like a solution not based on the window manager.
EDIT:
Tried this solution but I can't drag and drop with F1.
In ~/.xbindkeys :
"xdotool mousedown 1"
F1
"xdotool mouseup 1"
F1 + Release
Or :
"xdotool mousedown 1"
m:0x10 + c:67
"xdotool mouseup 1"
m:0x10 + c:67 + Release
Then :
xset -r 67
linux xorg keyboard mouse xmodmap
