[Eug-lug] keyboard equivalent?

[Ben Barrett]

Dirty hack option:  have a second device mirroring to the same input,
rewire first mouse button to foot pedal :)
I've been "casually" studying small-scale industrial production methodology.

For purposes of any specific application, it is probably easier to simply
remap the application input, rather than rewiring the mouse-handling on
an OS level.... (?)

ciao,

ben

PS - When you ask, "...on the PC side?", do you mean on linux in particular?
Is there a specific application you desire to have similar functionality
within?

PPS - There are many input arbitration methods that have been developed for
the
alter-abled, as well -- I indirectly knew a quadripelegic systems programmer
who worked at a very high level, for administrative services of a large
university in the northeast, who operated his computer entirely with a
pen-like
stick held in his mouth :)
