Map the Mouse Buttons
xinput set-button-map 8 1 0 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
NOTE: The initial 8 is the Mouse Id as determined above.
- The remaining 1 0 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 is the 9 mouse buttons as determined above.
- Here, button 2 is replaced by a zero.
- This disables this button.
- For left-handed people, the left and right buttons could be swapped around (the 3 and 1 are switched).
- 3 2 1 4 5 6 7 8 9
Mapping Mouse Buttons to Arbitrary Functions
Create or edit ~/.xbindkeysrc.
- To create a double-click event when a button is released, I added the following:
- ~/.xbindkeysrc
"/usr/bin/xte 'mouseclick 1' 'mouseclick 1' &" b:8 + Release
The format of this file is a series of paired lines. The first line is a command to be executed for an event; the second line is the event description. We will use the xte component of xautomation to send events directly to the input handler.
