I would like to emulate scrolling horizontally/vertically by moving my mouse cursor around while holding down a keyboard modifier.
I already know how to do this by assigning EmulateWheel/EmulateWheelButton in xorg.conf... however,
what I would like is to use Super as the modifier instead of a mouse button.
Possible? I have searched all day for an answer.
Thank you
Maybe I am too late but i just figured out how to do this with mouseemu in ubuntu. Just install mouseemu by:
sudo apt-get install mouseemu
and edit "/etc/default/mouseemu" and add the line:
SCROLL="-scroll 126"
126 is the key scan code for the right super key. you can find other key codes by using showkey in the terminal. now restart mouseemu:
sudo /etc/init.d/mouseemu restart
In ubuntu the right win key is also bringing up a list of shortcuts. I have not figured out how to disable that properly, because I also use the right win key as the compose key, so the list is already disabled that way.
A weird side effect of mouseemu is it is messing with the caps/num/scroll lock lights on my keyboard and turning them off. But I kind of like that, once I learned why they weren’t working.
