Fluxbox and left handed mouse.
i currently use Fluxbox 0.9.8.
since i m left handed i want to change the mouse buttons but haven't found any documentation on how to do it. can someone help me please. thanx for reading. |
I guess this relates to XFree86Config -configfile editing.. :) so check out this one for a full text: http://www.superant.com/cgi-bin/smalllinux.pl?SmallXFAQ
and here's the shortened text: when you're running an X session, in terminal run Code:
xmodmap -e "pointer = 2 1" Code:
xmodmap -e "pointer = 3 2 1" pointer = 2 1 if you have a two-button mouse, and if you have a three-button, then this: pointer = 3 2 1 and that should do it (perhaps you need to restart X?) note that if you happen to have a wheel (as many people do these days) or more than three buttons, it's quite unsure how things are done...but you can get a clue from the lines above. |
b0uncer: thanx for the reply mate but the thing did not work.
when i passed the xmodmap -e "pointer = 2 1" it says Code:
xmodmap: commandline:0: bad number of buttons, must have 5 instead of 2 then i passed 5 4 3 2 1 and it messed up everything. my primary mouse button was gone and everything was hay wire. any other ideas? |
with a 3 buttons scroll mouse - it means 5 possible actions!! - something like that would work for left hand...
. xmodmap -e "pointer = 3 2 1 4 5" . regards slackie |
wow!!! talk about not thinking straight.
thanx a lot mate. i shd have guessed that in first place. thanx once again :D |
