Hi,
In drawterm middle-click is option-click and right-click is command-click.
In OS X in general right click is ctrl-click and in plan9 under vmware
fusion ctrl-click is right-click and command-click is middle-click.
Is there any reason for this discrepancy and can it be easily changed?
Best wishes,
James

I don't see the discrepancy. You said that
OS X and Plan 9 agree about ctrl meaning right click.
Regardless, the easiest fix is to buy a 3-button mouse.

Yes but drawterm doesn't agree: command (apple key) means right click
and option means middle click.

Oh, I see. I'm not terribly inclined to change that.
Drawterm has used those keys for longer than there
has been OS X support and many people have that
muscle memory well trained. It is also consistent
with plan9port. I think that it's consistent with what
Plan 9 used to do too, but I might be misremembering.
(It looks like now there is a dedicated key for each button.)

Is there some way that the user can set/map their personal preferences?

It's easy to change and recompile.

I should have stated "to reconfigure function keys without recompiling the
system". For the original posters needs this is likely the way to go, but
I wondered about multi-user systems (if that is even meaningful with
drawterm).

ack... I meant that changing and compiling is the way to go, not mucking
with user specific settings.
Time for a break...

You could intercept /dev/mouse on the cpu server and swap the buttons there
before starting rio. That's per-user.
