    Just a wondering if anyone knows if it is possible to display desktop or display workspaces when you squeeze a mighty mouse?

    If it help whens I squeeze it using firefox it moves back to the previous webpage. So I am wondering if you can change the function.

    Thanks for any help.

    Theoretically this should be possible. All your keyconfigs,.. should be stored in your xmodmap. Changing the command from "back" to "show desktop" (<- not the commands!) might result in the wanted outcome.

    But I do not think this is going to be easy.. there are several guides on the internet about editing xmodmap, maybe one of them is similar to what you want.

    good luck~
