Binding keyboard to mouse buttons

Here is how to bind some mouse buttons to keyboard ones, like some keyboard shorcuts of Konqueror.

Install xbindkeys, then generate a default config

xbindkeys --defaults >> ~/.xbindkeysrc
xbindkeys

Bind the "back" and "forward" buttons of Konqueror, and same for "up" and "home". You can check your mouse buttons number using xev.

"xvkbd  -text "\[Alt]\[Left]""
      m:0x0 + b:6
"xvkbd  -text "\[Alt]\[Right]""
      m:0x0 + b:7
"xvkbd  -text "\[Alt]\[Up]""
      m:0x0 + b:9
"xvkbd  -text "\[Control]\[Home]""
      m:0x0 + b:8

Restart xbindkeys

pkill -f xbindkeys
xbindkeys
