I'm following this tutorial but cant seem to get this working
I used xev and confirmed the two mouse buttons I want to map are button 8 and button 9
I want to map them to the "a" and "s" keys on the keyboard.
I tried the following variations in my .xbindkeysrc but it doesn't do anything when I click my mouse buttons (I confirmed that remapping keyboard keys to commands like "xterm" does work).
"a"
b:8
m:0x0 + c:38
b:8
xte 'key a'
b:8
xte 'key 0x61'
b:8
Also tried these variations with "b:8 + release"
Nothing is working not sure why
