Description Eugene Pavlovsky 2006-04-17 10:02:17 UTC

I'm trying to set up my extra mouse button to produce "Enter" keypresses as long as I hold the button down. Here's my /etc/X11/imwheel/imwheelrc:
".*"
None, Button4, Return, 0
None, Button5, Escape

I run imwheel (version 1.0.0_pre12) as "imwheel -d -b 89 --auto-repeat 250000".
When I press the mouse button, "Enter" keypresses are generated at the correct rate of 4 per second, but when I release the mouse button, they keep being generated, while they should stop. So I guess imwheel somehow misses the mouse release event.

software: xorg-7.0-r1, imwheel-1.0.0_pre12
mouse: ms wireless explorer (tilt wheel, 2 extra side buttons)
xorg.conf (mouse section):
Section "InputDevice"
	Identifier  "usbmouse"
	Driver      "evdev"
	Option	    "Device"   "/dev/input/event_usb"
        Option      "Buttons"  "9"
	Option      "SampleRate"   "500"
	Option      "Resolution"   "800"
EndSection

That's an error in imwheel itself.
