''button'' is an optional list of modifiers (''shift'', ''control'', ''alt'', ''meta'' or ''super'') followed by a button number. The primary button (the left button for right handed users) is button 1, the middle button is 2, etc. Actions can be found below. Mouse button actions are not handled while the cursor is on the server. You cannot use these to perform an action while on the server. Separate actions can be assigned to press and release.|

 Actions are two lists of individual actions separated by commas. The two lists are separated by a '';'' (semicolon). Either list can be empty and if the second list is empty then the semicolon is optional. The first list lists actions to take when the condition becomes true (e.g. the hot key or mouse button is pressed) and the second lists actions to take when the condition becomes false (e.g. the hot key or button is released). The condition becoming true is called activation and becoming false is called deactivation. Allowed individual actions are:
 
-* `keystroke(key[,screens])`
+* `keystroke(key[,computers])`
 
-* `keyDown(key[,screens])`
+* `keyDown(key[,computers])`
 
-* `keyUp(key[,screens])`

-: Synthesizes the modifiers and key given in ''key'' which has the same form as described in the ''keystroke'' option. If given, ''screens'' lists the screen or screens to direct the event to, regardless of the active screen. If not given then the event is directed to the active screen only.
