Hello Mathgroup,

I would like to have an efficient way to assign my mouse right click to 
perform the following keystroke: "Left click, shift+enter". I want this so 
I can merely move my mouse cursor over the cell i want to evaluate in my 
Mathematica session, and then just press right click on my mouse, i.e. I do 
not want to have to first left click to get the cursor in the cell. I also 
do not want to modify the Shift+Enter=EvaluateCells[] on the keyboard, 
since this is a standard adopted by the good people at WRI and should be 
kept as such.

I have searched the on redefining the EvaluateCells command in Mathematica 
in Mathgroup. There have been two relevant posts that I can find. The first 
is where you modify the keyboard assignments: 
<http://groups.google.com/group/comp.soft-sys.math.mathematica/browse_thread/thread/bc277bc409040d08/6b4e2b07a25a42c2?q=%22shift-enter%22&rnum=2#6b4e2b07a25a42c2>
This is the type of modification I want, but I want to reassign the right 
mouse button. Does anyone know where that file is located?

The second relevant post is on a palette button to perform Shift+Enter
<http://groups.google.com/group/comp.soft-sys.math.mathematica/browse_thread/thread/b03df29477a52ccd/dea15838587ec74a?q=%22shift-enter%22&rnum=1#dea15838587ec74a>.
I mention this post, since if we can find a way to use a mouse key to 
execute a cell, our Mathematica presentations will run much smoother.

I have this implemented outside of Mathematica, using a compiled script and 
customizable mouse buttons, so the script runs when I right click with my 
mouse. But it is slow to use a .exe script, to perform "left click, 
shift+enter". However, the script has made my Mathematica sessions so much 
more enjoyable that I am searching for a faster and more stable method that 
is implemented inside of Mathematica. It really does make Mathematica alot 
easier to use!

Any help appreciated.

Cheers
