Okay, time us old motorcycle riders stepped in to resolve this one about
buttons on mice.  :-)  I still think our feet are underutilized.  I designed
and built a foot pedal for the PC that gave me the CTRL and ALT keys, or even
both together.  It used a footswitch stolen from an old dictating machine, and
it worked very well.
I bet that a lot of users would adapt better to a foot pedal than to a plethora
of mice with varying buttons.
Is there an init or cdev that will make menus stay extended until clicked?  I
would like one that was menu-selective, i.e. the thing would work only on say
FONT and STYLE menus
