I'm just trying to get my mouse back button to work on RDP (win-> cinnamon). But it seems to just send shift+scroll up and I can't change that. Please, how do I get my mouse back key over to my remote session? This is driving me crazy.

This is output of xev -event button when I press it once

ButtonPress event, serial 25, synthetic NO, window 0x15e00001, root 0x119, subw 0x0, time 1205056408, (142,106), root:(1323,740), state 0x10, button 6, same_screen YES
ButtonRelease event, serial 25, synthetic NO, window 0x15e00001, root 0x119, subw 0x0, time 1205056409, (142,106), root:(1323,740), state 0x10, button 6, same_screen YES

I can bind b:6 in xbindkeys but it always triggers twice. I tried adding sleep, but that just postpones the command. How do I "dedupe" it or "pause" xbindkeys just to skip second trigger?

My backup strategy was to bind mouse-back-key with AHK in windows to send some key-combo while RDP window is active. But that was a no-go because the modifiers arrived all messed up (or didn't arrive at all)
