openbox, reassign middle-click on desktop action to left-cli

[Lew_Rockwell_fan]

Using plain openbox, how can I change the response of left click on desktop (no response at all by default) to be what middle-click does by degault, i.e., show a menu of all open windows, sort of like a taskbar?

I would have thought it'd be in rc.xml with the word "mouse" somewhere in the vicinity but I can't find it.

Near the top of the "Menus" section of rc.xml should be:

Code: Select all

<mousebind button="Middle" action="Press">
<action name="ShowMenu">
<menu>client-list-combined-menu</menu>

.
Change "Middle" to "Left".

Thanks, Seppalta!

Hard to imagine I looked in the right place and somehow didn't see it. I guess it was a caffeine deficiency.
