Oh, I see what you mean now; I'm thinking about MS windows but there,
I was using a toggle for the click button.  This brings up another
idea.  How about a mouse toggle for each of the possible buttons on a
mouse? Most likely used would be the left button but still, have a
hotkey that toggles the respective mouse button.  That would resolve
the delema here.  I won't have a chance to try the patch til later
this evening.  I'm off to work shortly and I just got this e-mail.
Which version of Orca should this patch be applied?
