Is there a way to get the name of the currently opened subpatch reported to the main patch as soon as it’s activated?

I would like to assign the thumb button to toggle between edit mode and noedit mode. It should report the name without having to put something in all of the subpatches or having to click on something. Then I could send a edit mode on/off message to that window.

On Windows I use “Macro Express” to toggle edit mode on any current window with a mouse button. It saves an unbelievable amount of time if you need your other hand free.

Maybe there is another way on Linux (Ubuntu 10.04) to assign a mouse button to a specific function (like edit on/off)?
