## SCRIPT: 01_anyfile_MOUSE-G4andG5toPASTE-G300_xinput_set-button-map.sh
##
## PURPOSE: Set buttons G4 and G5 (on a Logitech G300 mouse) to
##          do paste (like button 2).
##
##          Note that a test with the 'xinput test <device-id>' command
##          shows that the buttons labelled 'G4' and 'G5' on the G300 mouse
##          actually are button numbers 8 and 9.
##
## METHOD: Uses the command 'xinput set-button-map' with suitable
##         mouse name or ID-number.
##
## Can use a command like:
##    lshal|grep -i mouse
## or
##    xinput list
## to find the name or ID-number for the mouse.
