Is there an easy way to map the + button to make the stylus rightclick, as in VNCviewer? I'm 2 out of 10 in Linux experience, and would appreciate step by step instructions.

I've uninstalled KDE, but I have noticed that running Maemo you get the equivalent of a right-click (popup context menu) by tapping and holding. Just put the stylus down and hold it for a couple of seconds, and the menu pops up. You have to drag the stylus into it, because if you lift it the menu immediately goes away. Perhaps this works in KDE too, or could be made to work?

1. Grab the script provided on page 1 of this thread (basically copy and paste text provided into KEdit or KWrite) and save as swmb.sh
2. Open Control Center ->Regional & Accessibility -> Input Actions
3. Make a New Group (eg: Kev's Actions)
4. Click on Kev's Actions and then make a New Action
a) General Tab -> Action Name: Click Toggle (or whatever); Action Type: Keyboard Shortcut->Command/URL (simple)
b) Keyboard Shortcut Tab: Tap on the rectangle and then assign the keyboard presses you want to activate the action. If you assign this to the (+) you won't be able to use that character anymore in regular text input - but as long as you don't care. FWIW - I assigned "click toggle" to Ctrl+F4 (F4 is the Menu button) but you can choose pretty much whatever button(s) you want.
c) Command/URL Settings Tab: Command to execute = navigate to the path of the swmb.sh file
5. Click Apply and go try out your new "Hotkey"
6. Now that you know how to set up a Hotkey you can look at some of the examples and try to make some others. I've made some for XMMS (my current media player of choice - I love the EQ) such that I can Play/Pause; Next Track; Previous Track - without having to stop reading my pdf files or minimize my pdf viewer window at all
.P.S. Many Thanks to Penquinbait for figuring this out!!! You ROCK!

I am not sure what I am missing here but after following your instructions, all that happens when I press the shortcut key is that Kwrite opens displaying the code. It doesn't execute it, I guess.

The file does end in .sh. The command is "/media/mmc2/swmb.sh"
So your command would then read /home/user/swmb.sh

machster, apologies if this is too simple minded, but
did you make your script executable (chmod a+x swmb.sh)?
