Oh. That definitely weakens this as a tool.

Serious question: are there ANY tools for Linux that allow you to set mouse
buttons and the like by program? It is an amazingly powerful feature once
you set it up... though of course it has to be set up. It is the type of
thing I would expect to NOT see for macOS but to see on Linux... though with
Linux I would not expect the setup to be as easy:
