[Feature request] Mouse control settings

[Rochambeau]

As far as I know, you can only reconfigure keyboard keys in the control settings. I would like to have the ability to remap my mouse buttons, too. At least left, middle and right mouse button.

I'm running kubuntu and tried remapping mouse buttons with xbindkeys and xte; it is working well in "normal" desktop applications like konsole, dolphin or firefox. But when i start Minetest, it seems like xbindkeys has no power there.

Sorry, had to :D

That was exactly the quote I had in mind. :-)

I mentioned that on irc not to long ago:

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Code: Select all

19:31    Inocudom    sfan5 Zeno` CraigyDavi: It would be convenient if the actions tied to the mouse could be reassigned. Some of the keys on the keyboard can't be used for binding.
19:32       Calinou: What say you concerning my above post?
19:33    sfan5    Inocudom: did you open an issue for that on github

19:40    Inocudom    No. I don't have a GitHub account, but posting it here should at least make this issue known.
19:40    Jordach    Inocudom, the issue / request will be ignored
19:40       nobody gives two fucks unless it's on the tracker
19:42    Inocudom    That is a very foolish request to ignore. How can this community expect to keep players around if they stick their nose as high as the sky at every request.
19:42    Jordach    because you try putting useful notes in random places
19:42    Inocudom    I don't know; maybe Irrilicht just can't handle such a request.
19:42    Jordach    it can
19:43       i didn't want to share my card details with digitalocean, so i gave it to paypal instead
19:43       so i skinned a cat with an alternate method

19:43    Inocudom    Sometimes, I wonder if the forums have much of a purpose these days.
19:44    Jordach    they do, it keeps idiots out of development's reach

Would this change benefit users using the mouse on the left hand side? Seems like an obvious choice if so.

I wonder why he even bothers to work on the engine when he has such serious issues with the community.

Opened an issue:

Jordach is joking. I don't think he contributes to the engine at all (I can't remember any pull requests from him, he mostly focuses on bfd)

The humor escaped me on this one. But apologies to Jordach if that is the case.

Well, I saw the issue that was made on GitHub. Of course, it will probably take a few months in order for the requested changes to be made (if they are ever made, since the issue is (gulp) low (gulp) priority (gulp.))
