NewDeal Hot Tip 1516
General Use
Left-Handed Mouse
Are you left-handed? Do you want to switch the mouse buttons so
that right clicks are left clicks and left clicks are right clicks?
It's easy to do in NewDeal. Just run Preferences, Mouse and click
the appropriate choice.
If you're using an older version of NewDeal which includes the
Configure utility, use it to make your choice of the mouse button
setting.
If you're using an even older version of the software, you can
change the mouse button configuration by editing the GEOS.INI file.
- Exit NewDeal.
- Use your DOS editor, Windows Notepad, or any text editor to
modify your GEOS.INI file as follows:
- Find the section named [input].
- If there is no [input] section, create one.
- Change the line
left handed = false
to
left handed = true
- If there is no left handed line, then add this line
to the [input] section:
left handed = true
- Save your changes to the GEOS.INI file.
That's it. If you have a three button mouse, the middle button
will be unaffected.
