IDEA: hotkey to toggle left/right mouse buttons

(1/2) > >>

tomos:
From this thread using 2 mice - can I have different settings for each? it looks like I cant have different settings for each. Deozaan & nite_monkey came up with this idea:

... Would there be some way that you could make an AHK program that would send the left mouse click when you physically right clicked, and vice verso

it would have to be able to differentiate between the two mouses which I suspect might be impossible but it would be great
Any takers out there ?? or ideas on the subject ??

Another idea would possibly be an AHK shortcut that would toggle the mouse settings to be lefty or righty.

IDEA is: to have a hotkey that would toggle settings for left and right mouse buttons
Ideally one hotkey would toggle settings but if that's not possible two different hotkeys would be fine
I was thinking RightAlt+M would be good (this is usually, but in my experience not always, same as Control+Alt+M but I'm sure you all willknow better than me :))

So I suppose, hotkey makes LeftButton=Right, Right Botton=Left, & then vice-versa
Could call it Ambidexterous-Mouser (seeing as "mouser" is hot-topic at the moment :p) or something like that :D

Hmmm... would it need a randomizer in order to cut out for unannounced periods?  ;)

i haven't read the the other thread yet but is this what you're looking for?

• Mouse key swap-over?

skrommel:
 :) Try SwapMouseButtons!

Just press Windows-S to swap the left and right mouse buttons.

thanks Skrommel  :up:  :D

I've only gotten round to trying that today - I had to give my left arm a rest so was just using right mouse for the last week (I'm left-handed)

Anyways,
when I click Win+S first a small "0" in a box shows just SE of cursor,
when I click again, a "1" shows again just below/right of cursor
These dont go away, I mean there's always one of them there ..

But a bigger problem is that on second click the mouse settings box opens - it opens the logitech tab with a wizard to help you asking which side of keyboard the mouse is etc.

I will try uninstalling the logitech soft - only installed it to see could I get around this problem some way - and see if that helps
Was thinking maybe it using this hotkey too but can find no indication othat - but you never can tell !
