Hi, psykosis,

I really like the look of your solution. I would prefer to use the + key, but the big question I have is:

If you're using xmodmap already (like we're doing for IceWM and the N810 keyboard), will this hack interfere with your already-loaded keymap? I'm hoping that each time you run xmodmap in your click-scripts it will only affect the mouse buttons, but if it erases the other mappings, I'll have to steer clear of this...
