Two left mouse buttons

konrado5 · 04-01-2019, 04:41 PM

I use Linux Mint 19.1 Cinammon. I'd like to set additional mouse button as left button. Is it possible? I've tried using xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2 3 1". Unfortunalety this command does not allow to set two left buttons.

What kind of mouse is it? Probably it has a profile.

how many left thumbs do you have?

you need to look up mapping mouse buttons. I searched
'linux configure 5 mouse buttons'
and pulled up a hand full of how tos

use

Code:

xev

to find your button numbers.

My mouse is Trust rava gtx 108. I'd like to two muse buttons work as left mouse button: left mouse button and this mouse button.

I have this habit that sometimes it is easier to press this button when I browse Web.
As I understand unfortunately xbindkeys merely allow to assign keyboard buttons to mouse buttons. Xmodmap "-e pointer" allows merely to swap mouse buttons. It is not possible to assign two mouse buttons as left mouse button. How to do it?

I am not sure if that would be app dependent, or on a usr "system wide" setup. But it should be able to be done, I just do not know the how to. it is just a matter of getting your mouse button number then assinging it to the same button say something like

Code:

#reg left button is 5 the other is 6
6=5

something like that.
