Any of those functions can be None if you don't have any need to respond to them.</div><div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>For setButtonFunction(), button is "1" (left), "2" (middle), or "3" (right) [strings, not integers]. "modifiers" is a tuple of "Ctrl", "Shift", or nothing.
