Re: Mapping buttons to mouse events

After an initial false start, I'm getting down and up events for the pad
center button (keyval 65421) - is there a standard constant for this value?

BTW, although not generally useful, for one handed operation this sort of
thing (pad center to mouse click mapping) can come in handy. For example,
form-filling, speech-enabled applications can benefit if the user can easily
tab from one field to another then click-and-hold while they speak. This is
easily done with the stylus, but the extra flexibility is cool.
