hotkey for scrollwheel

I'm running Ubuntu on a Thinkpad with a "nipple thingy mouse" and would love to have a way to make super-up and super-down send scrollwheel events. any ideas?

Really I'm looking for a way to convieniently scroll so other ideas are very welcome.

Solution 1:

I'm going to direct you to this Autohotkey for Ubuntu question. Basically, I and others here could do this in AHK for Windows, and it seems that there are a few growing equivalents in Linux. A fairly simple remapping of a key or key combination to whatever you want.

If you can find how to do this feature, you'll maybe go on to work out how to do everything you've ever wanted to do. That's been my experience with AHK, I hope that the Linux equivalents are up to it. Good luck.
