I'd like to map some buttons of my mouse, but it's not working.

I've been trying xbindkeys unsuccessfully. Here is one of the commands :

# Bind "back" mouse button to Ctrl+F8
"xte 'keydown Control_L' 'key F8' 'keyup Control_L'"
  b:6

If I type xbindkeys -k a white window appears. I don't have anything in the terminal when I use my mouse inside and when I close it I have :

XIO:  fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server ":0"
      after 17 requests (12 known processed) with 0 events remaining.

but xev works.

I'm using Debian Stretch with KDE Plasma, I've setup xbindkeys to start on login and I run the command killall xbindkeys && xbindkeys once the modification of .xbindkeysrc is done.

Does anyone know how to fix that?

Thanks!

  • Same problem here. With `xbindkeys -k` I get not results for any mouse button. With `xev` it works perfect. Did you solve it? How? – TravelTrader Oct 01 '20 at 08:08
  • I don't get mouse actions too on `xbindkeys -k`, but they are working nevertheless. For example, this configuration works: `# thumb wheel down => lower volume "xdotool key XF86AudioLowerVolume" b:7` – Jānis Elmeris Apr 30 '21 at 09:17
