The problem might be that starting with 8.10, Nautilus seems to have its own (undocumented?) scroll wheel click behavior: a single click of the scroll wheel behaves like a double-click when Nautilus is in Icon view (although scroll wheel clicking a folder opens it as a new tab rather than replacing the contents of the current window). A scroll wheel click doesn’t appear to do anything in List view.</p> <p>If anyone has any insight into this I’d love to disable the default behavior and use Rob’s tip (or something similar) instead.</p> <p>Thanks!</p> tag:robwilkerson.org,2010-01-02:/id/94//comment_15011 2010-01-02T17:23:40-04:00 2010-01-02T17:23:40-04:00 r_ <p>Thanks, Rob. Applying the knowledge I gained from your excellent explanation, and after looking at the help listing for xte, I was able to make any button do things like go back/forward between browser pages, go home/end of page, pageup/pagedown, etc. If only all tips on help forums were as clear as yours…</p> <p>Thanks again</p> tag:robwilkerson.org,2009-08-01:/id/94//comment_11073 2009-08-01T10:49:19-04:00 2009-08-01T10:49:19-04:00 Andrey <p>Thanks a lot. It works on Xubuntu 9.04</p> tag:robwilkerson.org,2009-05-27:/id/94//comment_8907 2009-05-27T08:12:09-04:00 2009-05-27T08:12:09-04:00 Mark http://blog.marksimon.de/ <p>Works perfect, but unfortunately doesn’t survive an Ubuntu update. So i had to do this the second time ;) </p> <p>Thank you for posting such a detailed guide.</p> tag:robwilkerson.org,2009-03-16:/id/94//comment_6261 2009-03-16T15:23:44-04:00 2009-03-16T15:23:44-04:00 Larry <p>Worked like a charm for me in 8.10.

I had the same problem and the issue is the “&” in the startup command. Remove that and you should be golden. I’ll take a new screenshot and make the appropriate update.</p> <p>Thanks for reminding me and apologies for the misleading information.</p> tag:robwilkerson.org,2008-09-13:/id/94//comment_234 2008-09-13T22:13:36-04:00 2008-09-13T22:13:36-04:00 Lin Freeman http:// <p>Hi,<br /> Since I completely agree about double clicking, I followed Rob’s suggestions and, of course, they worked perfectly. Worked, that is, except for the final step: after which the double-click should last through a reboot. That doesn’t work for me; after a reboot the wheel is simply a single click until I open a console and enter “xbindkeys &” again . Anyone have any suggestions?<br /> Thanks,<br /> Lin</p>
