Wow, shift-delete is so useful: how could you live without it on a mac? I just wish it didn't need to pause and could auto-repeat.) (May I have an explaination please? My assumption is that xbindkeys and the system need to finish handling the current event before xdotool can send a new event. Note: I have found the need to sleep before running xdotool from xbindkeys.
shift + BackSpace - xdotool key -clearmodifiers Delete #Note: does not auto-repeat. The current recommendation is for apple-click it seems to work well even though apple (command) (also called Super) does bring up the Keyboard Shortcuts window: control + option + b:1 - ctrl- option-click Sometimes requires a double mouse click, possibly because of ubuntu's use of option (alt). shift + b:1 - shift-click is also a problem due to file selection. option + b:1 - option (alt) provides functions in ubuntu which inhibit option-click from working. control + b:1 - ctrl-click enables multiple selections in the file manager and elsewhere. Since the original post, these combinations were tried but are not quite acceptable: Apparently option-( Fn-) F10 is one almost-workaround, but it is not quite the same. While it is supporting two-finger scroll out-of-the-box, there does not appear to be any way to right-click on ubuntu (out-of-the-box) on a macbookpro (without an external mouse).

For those that forgot, the MacBook Pro only has one mouse button. Running Ubuntu Desktop 13.10 on MacBookPro2,2. This solution requires xbindkeys and xdotool. And I have added shift- delete to act as del rather than as BackSpace. I also include apple- shift-click to work as middle-click.
Here's a solution to make apple-click ( command-click) work as right-click. Scroll down to Steps, to see the solution.
