Re: emojis for mouse buttons?

Operationally, one does not program for “left” or “right” buttons, because left-handed users are encouraged to set a switch that logically turns the mouse around, with “Button 1” being the button worked by the index finger, no matter what side of the mouse it’s on. -- John W. Kennedy "Co
