Question is about mouse buttons customization. I want ctrl, alt, shift to modify my mouse buttons behavior on being pressed.
My mouse have 9 buttons, prev, next buttons in it already working. I would like to configure my ubuntu to have:
- ctrl + prev mouse button = change virtual desktop to left
- ctrl + next mouse button = change virtual desktop to right
Does such combinations possible to configure on Ubuntu or other OS? If yes then how hard it will be? I have also one unused mouse button, is there any trigger like iterate next through workspaces?
I am doing a lot o this switches. To do so, I move my hand a lot between keyboard and mouse. It slows me down pretty much. Answer to my questions and any alternative solution would be great.
Minor solutions:
- setting hotkeys that can be managed just by left hand, (super - s in unity shows workspaces)
- dedicating mouse buttons to do just it
- using trackpoint on the keyboard - less hand movements
