Would some kind person, see if their TCC Keyboard Shortcuts will accept mouse 
clicks as part of a shortcut?

After installing xbindkeys and futzing with xev and xbindkeys-config, xev is 
showing the mouse button clicks firing, but xbindkeys-config doesn’t seem to 
see the mouse clicks, or at least it’s not capturing them in its Get Key 
function.  Anyone have a guess what might be blocking xbindkeys from seeing 
mouse events?  Or diags to run to narrow it down?

Thanks,
