Re: toggle mouse buttons by script

[Stephan Kahnt <stephan.kahnt@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Just to finish ths thread here is my new script:

<<< snip-here >>>
#!/bin/sh
# script for toggling mouse buttons and save the settings for kde

# what is the current setting, or better where to switch to ?
mouse_what_to_set() {
  xmodmap -pp | cut -c 9,24 | grep -q 11 && echo "Left" || echo "Right"
}

# switch to Left or Right
switch_mouse() {
  if [ "$1" == "Right" ]; then
    list="1 2 3"
  else
   list="3 2 1"
  fi
  xmodmap -e "pointer = $list" && kwriteconfig --file kcminputrc --group Mouse --key MouseButtonMapping "${like}Handed"
}

# do the job
switch_mouse `mouse_what_to_set`

<<< snip-here >>>


Best regards

Stephan
