SUMMARY
***
Hello all,
In MX Linux KDE(5.20.5) there is no option to simulate middle-click with lef+right click mouse.
So if I do this in terminal :
$ xinput set-prop 'Logitech Wireless Device PID:4055' 'Evdev Middle Button Emulation' 0
The shortcut-Meta/Super/Win Key - for the Application Menu doesn't work anymore. Even if I change the shortcut from "Alt+F1" to "Win+a".
So If I pres the Meta/Super/Win key notting happens.
***


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. $ xinput set-prop 'Logitech Wireless Device PID:4055' 'Evdev Middle Button Emulation' 0
2. 
3. 

OBSERVED RESULT
Meta/Super/Win-key doesn't activate menu anymore.

EXPECTED RESULT

You want System Settings > Input Devices > Mouse > Check the checkbox for "Press left and right buttons for middle click".

If you don't see it, you don't have the Libinput driver installed, which is required for this functionality.

If you do see the checkbox but it's disabled, select a different device in the combobox at the top of the page.
