you're awesome! switching to layer 2 for as long as shift is held and assigning {release}{shift}{del} to the mouse button does exaclty what i want. thank you!

I wasn't aware of this and this is precisely where i made the mistake: used shift for switching to layer 2 (for as long as shift is being pressed) resulting in a shift+del command instead of the desired {del} Thank you for the hint!

Just as you suggested I opened "settings" and when I press the reprogrammed buttons they light up in orange. Yet, when I try them, neither the simulated "delete" button (Middle button on my Kensington Trackball model K64325) or the "escape" simulation on button #4 work...
