Keyboard equivalents for simple mouse actions

 These actions can be used on any system. If you have a one- or two-button mouse, your X server should provide other methods for simulating middle and right button clicks; see the documentation for your X server for details.

tex2html_wrap9094
Simulate a left mouse button click.

tex2html_wrap9108 (or tex2html_wrap9112 on the numeric keypad)
Simulate a middle mouse button click.

tex2html_wrap9096
Simulate a right mouse button click.

To move the pointer left or right, use tex2html_wrap9121 and tex2html_wrap9123 (or tex2html_wrap9872 and tex2html_wrap9874 on the numeric keypad). To simulate a dragging action, press and hold tex2html_wrap9094 , tex2html_wrap9108 , or tex2html_wrap9096 , use tex2html_wrap9121 or tex2html_wrap9123 to move the pointer to the desired location, then drop the selected annotation by releasing all keys.
