Instructions on common changes users make to default mouse usage.

Left-Handed Mouse

To get a left-handed mouse (that is, to swap the left and right buttons), follow these instructions:

1 Create the required directory mkdir --parents ~/.config/labwc

2 Open file ~/.config/labwc/rc.xml in a text editor of your choice as a regular, non-root user.

If you are using a graphical environment, run. featherpad ~/.config/labwc/rc.xml

If you are using a terminal, run. nano ~/.config/labwc/rc.xml

3 Type in or copy the following lines

<?xml version="1.0"?> <labwc_config> <libinput> <device> <leftHanded>yes</leftHanded> </device> </libinput> </labwc_config>

4 Log out and log in, or reboot.

For the changes to take effect, you must log out and log in, or reboot.

5 Done.

The left-handed mouse button mapping has been configured for labwc.
