map mouse button 4 or 5 to button 2?


Hi,

Is it possible to have either button 4 or 5 (usually the forward/back buttons) send a 'button 2' signal (ie paste) to cygwin applications? The reasons for this are (1) since button 2 is on the wheel, pressing this button sometimes also accidentally sends a scroll signal making for sloppy paste operations and (2) I just upgraded my mouse, and in the new standard configuration, Windows intercepts button 2 and makes it a 'switch applications' signal. I need button 2 for Cygwin paste operations, so I'm anxious to restore this functionality to my cygwin.

My new mouse/keyboard setup is MS Wireless Optical Desktop Elite (which includes a Wireless IntelliMouse Explorer 2.0), and I'm running .... hm, not sure how to check my Cygwin version, it's probably ~4 months old .... on WinXP.

Thanks for the help,
Jeff
