My notebook has a touchpad with two buttons.



enter image description here



The touchpad works pretty well and I use it for vertical/horizontal scroll, two fingers scrolling etc. The Left button acts like the left button of a mouse. The Right button too, when clicked it makes appear the classic contextual menu (create new folder, move to trash etc...).



The problem is that Right button doesn't work anymore for mechanical reasons, so pressing it has no effect.



To recover the missing functionality, I'd like that pressing CTRL + Left button I get the same thing of pressing the Right button alone. Other combinations (CTRL + SHIFT + Left button) are also acceptable.



Any way to do that?

This answer (along with @devav2 comment) helped a lot: https://askubuntu.com/a/97784/18140



In my case the content of $HOME/.xbindkeysrc is:



"xdotool click --clearmodifiers 3"
Control + b:1 + Release


It does exactly what I was looking for and works pretty well.
