Anyone got a good idea?
Bonus points if you know of a script that I can setup to take a screenshot every x seconds as well.
You could use OBS to make 30 screenshots per second and combine them into a convenient screenshot library file. :P
xbindkeys seems interesting, but I've literally no idea what I'm looking at :P
while true; do scrot -u "/home/liam/Pictures/Screenshots/`date`.png"; done
Takes a shot of the active window every second and saves it, basically what I need for taking screenshots of games in-action. Might do until I find something to easily map a mouse button :D

sudo apt install xbindkeys xautomation
2. Learn what number your desired button has:
xev | grep state
(press keys and buttons and see output in your terminal)
Let's say it's mouse button 9
3. Create a config file:
nano ~/.xbindkeysrc
Type there:
"xte 'key Print'"
b:9
4. Launch xbindkeys:
xbindkeys
If you want to change something in that config, after that execute:
killall xbindkey
xbindkeys
