The problem is, that the middle mouse button only generates a key press/key release event pair once its released (can be seen using xev and `libinput debug-events'). This is caused by the trackpoint driver using one-button scrolling by default (that is, you can hold the middle mouse button and move the trackpoint - even though this didn't work for me). You can disable on-button scrolling using xinput, e.g. xinput set-prop 'TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint' \ 'libinput Scroll Method Enabled' 0 0 0 After this, Ctrl+middle works as expected in xterm. Note: Check `xinput' output to get the correct device name for your trackpoint (you can also use its numeric identifier, but the name is supposed to be more stable). Cheers, Michael p.s. I also learned that using the trackpoint and the trackpad in parallel (and thus having buttons) works okay now - it didn't when I configured that laptop two years ago - \o/ -- Michael Gmelin
