How to map left click to keyboard F1 Linux?












0















I wonder how to do it.



AFAIK, xinput is to map mice only.



What about mapping mouse button to a keyboard key ?



I would like the same behavior (key pressed) to be able to drag and drop.



Maybe xmodmap or xdotool can do this ?



xmodmap -e "F1 = button1


but not the expected behavior, and error :



$ xmodmap -e "F1 = button 1"
xmodmap: unknown command on line commandline:1
xmodmap: 1 error encountered, aborting.


With xdotool:



xdotool click 1


in my keyboard shortcuts preferences (Cinnamon desktop), this solution doesn't handle key press to drag and drop



Name of buttons from xev
