Hello. In my new garuda sway install I can’t change my mouse for left hand. I am new user of Linux… I need help please
Hi there, welcome to the forum.
Please always provide your system specs with the output of:
garuda-inxi
(see topic template).
Also search on the internet.
For example I see that the package input-remapper-git in the Chaotic-AUR could fit your needs (otherwise I’m afraid it could be a matter of libinput configuration, a bit more complicated).
You can install it with:
sudo pacman -S input-remapper-git

You can enable left-handed mode directly in the Sway config.
sway-input(5) — Arch manual pages
input left_handed enabled|disabled
Enables or disables left handed mode for specified input device.
If you are using a mouse, you can use pointer as the input type.
~/.config/sway/config.d/input
input type:pointer {
left_handed enabled
}
Be sure to reload your Sway config after you add that to your config.
I hope that helps, welcome to the community @zembra.

Thnks for the input-remapper. I had found it in indernet and had installed before you wrote me this as help.. I am afraid I can’t use it because I don’t know the function of it. I made on “Input” two buttons but the program says “Missing macro or key”…
when I write ~/.config/sway/config.d/input my pc write fish: Unknown command. '/home/bib/.config/sway/config.d/input' exists but is not an executable file.
Please post your complete garuda-inxi, the current one is not complete (the last line is missing). Thank you.

You have to open the file with an editor, for example Micro.
micro ~/.config/sway/config.d/input
If you are using Micro, paste in the new lines with Ctrl+v, save the file with Ctrl+s, exit Micro with Ctrl+q, then reload your Sway config with Mod+Shift+C and test it out.
