On Macbooks, the right mouse button is mapped to the F12 key, however on recent model Macbooks the F12 key is no longer present on the standard keyboard (requires the Fn key now), making this particularly troublesome now.

A re-mapping of the right mouse button would be worthwhile even for older macbooks, as the current mapping has been a source of confusion among powerbook users for quite some time.

The Debian MacBook guide includes a suggestion of using the left "Command" key as the right mouse button. http://wiki.debian.org/MacBook . We'd like to know what upstream would think of this idea, or if a different idea would be better?
