emulate middle mouse button?

[Randy11]

You can use "xinput" to emulate de middle button. This the steps to follow :

1 - Type "xinput list"
2 - Find the your mouse and is name. For me is : Logitech USB-PS/2 Trackball
3 - I use this script :
#!/bin/sh
MOUSE_POINTER="Logitech USB-PS/2 Trackball"
MOUSE_ID=`xinput list | grep -i "${MOUSE_POINTER}" | awk -F= '{ print $2}' |
awk '{print $1}'`
/usr/bin/xinput --set-prop "${MOUSE_ID}" "Evdev Middle Button Emulation" 1

You can put this script in your initialisation files like '.profile',
'.login' or '.xsession.rc'

You can look here for the original version of this :

This doesn't work with Gnome but isn't a problem for Xfce :-)

I have a remote mini keyboard (2.4 GHz) with integrated touchpad, but only
left and right mouse mutton and no middle button.
The common trick to press both left and right mouse button together does
not work with this special device.
How can I emulate the middle mouse button in another way?
For example by SHIFT LEFT-BUTTON
Also defining the CAPS key (which I do not need at all) as the middle
mouse button would be ok.
