    CTRL+W shortcut on extra mouse button?

    hey there. i just made the switch to kubuntu, after disliking the way the basic ubuntu distro is heading and after a short while of getting used to KDE i am feeling more and more confident with it but as the topic states: how can i add the "CTRL+W" shortcut on one of my mouse buttons?
    within gnome it was pretty easy to achieve through compiz but of course i won't install the whole thing just to get one shortcut.

    i have a multi-button mouse for years and always were able to configure it to my personal tastes somehow.
    i prefer to change the button that is usually set to "browse forward" to the close tab/close window command, which makes browsing and using the desktop way more intuitive for myself.

    anyone know a way to achieve that within the kubuntu environment, or at least, if there is no other way, within firefox only, so i can close tabs with the button.

    any help is appreciated

    The KDE has mouse gestures:
    System Settings > Shortcuts and Gestures.


    To add commands/shortcuts to the mouse buttons, maybe this will help as an example > KDE Forums: Activate back and forward side mouse buttons konqueror
