I've been trying to get keyboard keys bound to mousebuttons by using
xbindkeys and xmacroplay. Xbindkeys unfortunately has a problem, a problem
it is forced to have because of a limitation in the X header files.

The X header file X.h (/usr/X11R6/include/X11/X.h on my disk) has a few
predifned buttons, ranging from 1 to 5. Xbindkeys makes use of the
ButtonXMask buttonmask, where X is a number. Unfortunateley, the highest one
is for button five.

Is it simple to add Button6-to-10Mask without problems? How exactly should I
do this? I assume just adding Button6Mask and up in X.h won't cut it, would
it?

TIA
