The right-click button on my laptop's touchpad is broken. I do not want to have to carry around an external mouse, and I already know about shift-f10 and the dedicated right-click shortcut button on the keyboard. These aren't always useful because they do not allow me to right-click images, links, or a number of other common situations. Ideally, I would like to create my own shortcut that uses both the keyboard and the touchpad's left-click, such as:
[alt] + left-click = right-click,
[shift] + [ctrl] + left-click = right-click,
or
[ctrl] + [alt] + left-click = right-click.Any advice is welcome. Thank You!
