customizing the mouse and keyboard
This section describes various customizations that can modify the
default keyboard and mouse behavior.
changing mouse button actions
The xmodmap utility can be used to change mouse button mappings. The
syntax for changing mouse button mappings with xmodmap is:
xmodmap {-e ìpointer = {default | number [number...]}î | -pp}
where:
-e
Specifies a remapping expression. Valid expressions are covered in
“Customizing Keyboard Input”.
default
Set mouse keys back to default bindings.
number
Specifies a list of button numbers to map the mouse keys to. The order of
the numbers refers to the original button mapping.
pp
Print the current pointer mapping.
For example, to reverse the positions of buttons 1 and 3 for left-handed
mapping:
xmodmap -e “pointer = 3 2 1" (2-button mouse)
xmodmap -e “pointer = 3 2 1 5 4" (3-button mouse)
To establish OSF/Motif-standard button mapping:
xmodmap -e “pointer = 1 3 2" 2-button mouse
