6.4 Button Mapping with xmodmap for Devices in Core Mode
xmodmap will only modify the Core Pointer. As there is only one Core pointer at
a time, it makes no difference between the physical devices which may become
the Core Pointer. You may set this device manually with xsetpointer device.
For the moment, let us forget the whole XInput stuff and think of a left-hander
who just wants to swap the left and right mouse buttons. You would execute
xmodmap -pp to look what the current assignment is. You should get the
following table back:
Physical Button
Button Code
1 1 # ( Left Button )
2 2 # ( Right Button )
3 3 # ( Middle Button )
To swap the buttons, you do a xmodmap -e "pointer = 2 1 3" , and to get back,
xmodmap -e "pointer = default" . This should work with every device with at
least two buttons. Note that the term "pointer = x x x" has to be quoted to
prevent it from being changed by the shell.
