Remapping buttons in Linux
|
|
==========================
|
|
|
|
You can use the following command to remap the buttons:
|
|
|
|
xinput set-button-map <device-id> <button1> <button2> <button3> ... <buttonN>
|
|
|
|
The `<device-id>` is shown in the `xinput list` output - you can use the name as a string or the id number. You can query the actual button state using `xinput query-state <device-id>`.
|
|
|
|
The mouse has following button-ids:
|
|
|
|
| Button | ID |
|
|
|:----------------------|:--:|
|
|
| Thumb button | 9 |
|
|
| Index finger button | 1 |
|
|
| Middle finger button | 8 |
|
|
| Ring finger button | 3 |
|
|
| Wheel button | 2 |
|
|
| Wheel up | 4 |
|
|
| Wheel down | 5 |
|
|
|
|
See [remapping mouse buttons]({% post_url 2010-01-07-remapping-mouse-buttons %}) on what buttons X11 recognizes.
|
|
|
|
According to this the default configuration (`xinput set-button-map <device-id> 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9`) would give you middle click on the wheel button and right-click on the middle finger.
|
|
The ring finger button would be for special use as well as the thumb button.
|
|
|
|
I for myself prefer having the middle-button on the middle finger and the right-click on the ring finger.
|
|
So I mapped 8→3 and 3→2 and I also mapped 9→8 and 2→9 to have the wheel button and thumb button for special use in some programs which make use of additional buttons.
|
|
My final `xinput` line looks like this:
|
|
|
|
# input id: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
|
|
xinput set-button-map <device-id> 1 9 2 4 5 6 7 3 8
|
|
|
|
You could also map 9→6 and 2→7 to have the 2 additional buttons emulate *Wheel left* and *Wheel right*:
|
|
|
|
# input id: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
|
|
xinput set-button-map <device-id> 1 7 2 4 5 8 9 3 6
