None at the moment. It would be great if we provided a default, but
which keys should be sacrificed for the mouse buttons? The already
proposed F10/F11 is a pretty bad default, many programs need F10
(including GNOME, and my much beloved mc :-) ). 

On my iBook G4 there is currently only one useless key:

It's the one to the right of the right Apple key. It would be a good
choice to use it as the middle or right mouse button, but which key to
use for the other button? (Personally I prefer F11).
