You can verify whether the mouse clicks (events) are detected by
"xev". Íf the required mouse events are sensed, then:
1)The order of the mouse events can be rearranged by "xmodmap".
2)Shell commands can be launched by mouse events using "xbindkeys".
3)You can translate the mouse events (in an application specific way) to
keyboard events/other mouse events by "imwheel".
