missing feature in xinput since it seems to only support the pointer/keyboard prefixes for XI2 calls. Please file this bug upstream on https://bugs.freedesktop.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=xorg under the app/xinput component. |
User-Agent: Opera/9.80 (X11; Linux x86_64; U; en) Presto/2.9.168 Version/11.52 The Logitech Nano USB receiver registers itself as both an keyboard and a mouse device with the same name. I want to remap some buttons on my mouse, but can't do that with xinput without having too look up the device ID manually. The device ID might change, and of course the device name is not unique so I can't use that either. xinput does have support to use "keyboard:" or "pointer:" as a prefix to specify which device is meant, but this does not work with {get,set}-button-maps. Reproducible: Always Actual Results: $ xinput get-button-map "Logitech USB Receiver" Warning: There are multiple devices named "Logitech USB Receiver". To ensure the correct one is selected, please use the device ID instead. Expected Results: I would like to do "xinput get-button-map "pointer:Logitech USB Receiver"". Prefixing works with "xinput list-props "pointer:Logitech USB Receiver"" for example, but not with get/set-button-maps.
