Map key + mouse click/movement to something on Linux

When I was using OS X, I was able to remap left click + ctrl to right click and cursor movement + shift to scroll in the direction the cursor would be travelling. Is this possible on Linux?

I'm running KDE Plasma 5.

sxkhd with xdotool might do what you want:

So far this is my sxhkdrc file:

alt + button1
    xdotool click 3

However, when I click alt + button1, the command does nothing. When I do the command outside of sxhkd, it works fine.
