Anythingyou highlight in Linux, regardless of the program, is put into a special clipboard buffer, which you can paste using your mouse's middle (wheel) button (which is emulated on many laptops by pushing both buttons at the same time). You can also use a keyboard shortcut, if you like.
The solution involves you to download source code of gnome terminal and apply the patch and then you will need to build a package which will build deb packages and then you can just install from those packages.
Specifically, I like to make one of them just the Ctrl key (for control clicking webpages) and another one Ctrl+W to close tabs. I also normally make the scroll wheel page down for each click (otherwise it hurts my arms to be scrolling so much). I make pushing the wheel to the left = pageback and pushing to the right = page forward.
But when I posted a followup post to solve the issue, no one responded --perhaps I made the mistake of posting to a question that had been "solved." I'm not sure how I'm supposed to reopen a question that is pertinent to my question but doesn't quite solve mine.
You need to find the button numbers for the buttons on your mouse. Run xev. You will see a litle white windows appear, put your mouse in it and press your mouse buttons (it's best to do this one button at a time). You should get output like this for each button:
Next we need to add the key/button bindings to the config file. You can open this file with gedit $HOME/.xbindkeysrc. This is where the fun begins. We are going to use xte to set bindings to our buttons.
Unfortunately, this can trick some games to use that controller instead of mouse & keyboard. This can (rarely) cause some games that don't have internal controller settings to become unplayable until this service is shut off.
I followed the @Seth's instructions, but the binding I wanted was to for the thumb button an the M705 to do CTRL + Left-click (for opening links in a new tab in chrome browser). The binding I needed to add was this:
You should install Solaar, a Linux tool that allows you to manage Logitech Unifying Receiver mice and keyboards, that comes with both a GUI and command line interface. To do that add the following repository and install by executing the following commands:
This will allow you to increase and maximize you mouse's DPI, monitor battery, enable smooth scrolling and side scrolling. To get the multi window and zoom button working you can visit this site which walks you through the easy steps to get the functionality you are looking for:
I too have the g700s gaming mouse. The good news is that it was expensive (for a mouse) and the manufacture actually built it to a high standard. The functions for the mouse are stored in the mouse. The bad news is to configure it correctly you need to use the logitech software that only runs in windows.
So...basically you need to plug the mouse into a windows box, and configure it exactly how you want it. I'd recommend utilizing the switch profiles function so you can set it up good for normal usage, ie: running your linux desktop, compiz functions (switching apps, switching workspaces, toggling maximize, etc), and then make another profile for gaming (possibly with a different refresh rate) and the gaming buttons. As for compiz consider setting the 4 side thumbs buttons to alt, ctl, shift, superkey, as this will make using switching easier with the scroll wheel. alt + scroll wheel up becomes thumb button 1 + scroll wheel up.
The key bindings described above works great, but consider battlefield 4 also has a terrible time recognizing the mouse as a mouse with 10 buttons so for that I had to map my 4 thumb buttons to = , \ and ;. But obviously in linux this is silly, and to re-bind the = key to "next app" is a lesson in futility, especially when coding hahahaha.
type can be other than keystroke, and code can be other than PageUp, value is 1 for pressed and 0 for releasedyes, your mouse can trigger keystrokes, the system will interpret it the same as keyboards, its all just events from event devices.
Finally, log out and in again from the desktop for these changes to take effect. You can now scroll up and down in browsers and other programs by pressing and holding the mouse back and forward buttons.
Lomoco is included in Ubuntu Software Center and specifically is designed to deal with Logitech Mouse vendor-specific customizations. It can possibly accomplish some of the things you are trying to do.
So I have been using my performance MX on my ubuntu machine for about 6 months. I left most buttons default, but I did go ahead and make the thumb button the Super key which is handier than going to the top left corner of the screen in gnome. And I made the zoom button a control button. But it is set to turn on CTRL and turn off CTRL with separate clicks. This really helps since I have one 4K display and one 1080, so I can click the zoom button once, scroll the wheel to zoom in and out fo web pages, and when I have the web page scaled how I want, I click the zoom again. Here is my xbindkeysrc settings:
I set the side buttons for copy/paste for all programs. Additionally, the new Logitech software allows to edit individual programs, so I added the Cubase.exe and set the buttons for copy/paste there too.
Unrelated perhaps but similar maybe. I had tried and true keyboard shortcuts flat out refuse to work in C6.5 on Snow Leopard. After years of using Cmd P to get to the pool, G and H to zoom in and out etc, suddenly would not work. For no reason. After a clean install of the OS (routine annual maintenance) and of my apps (Cubase included) everything suddenly worked. For whatever reason, who knows.
GIVEN navigate program in any window, WHEN I click on most of the buttons and hold left mouse button THEN program crashes immediately, sometimes even freezes the computer. No error message displayed however. This affects UI and UX when I want to abort some action, etc.
I have a basic license and run synergy server on my MacBook Pro. I run synergy client on an nvidia tx2 dev board and also on a laptop with mint on ubuntu. Synergy works great. Exactly what I want. The mouse and keyboard work fine, copy-n-paste works fine. It's great.
Great software, works a treat across my 6pc's. When I had a problem (it was a Windows error) the support team were very quick to reply to my email and the advice given was second to none. Highly recommended
OK, an update. The vast majority of middle mouse button pasting I do is from a terminal window or text editor. If I highlight text in a term window or text editor (medit, nedit) and middle click in Writer I get the autoscroll indicator. If I highlight text in a Writer document then middle click in a second Writer document I get the expected pasting. After that, I can paste from a terminal window or text editor just as in past versions of LO. Curiouser and curiouser.
I always thought it sad when a topic went uncommented on then was ultimately solved by the poster. This seems to be a problem with the LO start screen. When Writer is started from the start screen all the above issues exist. When Writer is started directly (/path/to/libreoffice5.0/programs/soffice --writer) it acts exactly as expected, middle mouse button pasting from any programs. Not solved but figured out.
