The cid’s used for the buttons came from the output of logid -v and to determine which button was which, I first mapped the one I suspected were correct to letters, then changed to the shift and control after knowing for sure which was which. Here is the configuration to make front left button act like right shift and the back left button act like right control. Xorg_xev used to see what outputs are being sent by input devices xev on cmd ln Logiops config /etc/logid.cfg, details below Also, it was very inconsistent, could not count on the key being depressed when you wanted.įor being able to actually click a mouse button and have it act like a modifier button like shift or control, I found a solution in logiops which binds to the keycodes under the covers, has to run as an elevated user. Xbindkeys help was found here: Just remember that you can’t simulate a “modifier”, holding a key still only does one click, you can add delays and so forth, but that requires using the macro functionality which could easily be detected by anti cheating software and get your game character banned. If you need it to act like you were holding down a modifier while hitting another key, you won't be able to use xbindkeys despite their software seeming to imply you could use it this way (they have a function for holding keys). However, I found that you can’t map mouse buttons to actually stay depressed with either of these options even though it works fine for a one time click of a key combination. I also installed something with a gui called “input-remapper” which uses xbindkeys under the covers.
I wanted to use them for shift and ctrl.įor basic one click items, you can directly use xbindkeys. I had picked up a new M650L Logitech mouse last week that has two side buttons that default to page forward or page back. Since the software provided by Logitech to remap their mouse buttons only works on Windows and Mac, you have to use something else. I wanted to remap mouse button bindings to work better for my gaming keybinds. I thought this might be useful to other Garuda users so posting this here.
