I wrote some Perl to go thru the FAQ revisions. This was
removed with revision 1.21:
3.5 You can bind mouse movements to keystrokes, how about mouse
presses?
A: Hm. This one is a little tougher. It could be done, but many
programs ignore synthetic events, which is what would be generated.
In X11R6.1 there is an extension (called XKBD?) which can do this,
but I don't want to code to anything specific to one of the newer
X11 versions like this. You could try using Xse, which is a
program to interface to XSendEvent, available at ftp.x.org. It
could probably be used in a simliar manner to xcb above (or in
conjunction with it). If anyone comes up with good examples for
this, please send it to the fvwm mailing list for inclusion here.
